Dragon magazine final print issue7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Production was then transferred from Wisconsin to Washington state. Wizards of the Coast purchased TSR and its intellectual properties, including Dragon in 1997. ![]() It subsequently went on to become one of the primary campaign 'worlds' for official Dungeons and Dragons products, starting in 1987. A prime example is the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, which first became known through a series of Dragon articles in the 1980s by its creator Ed Greenwood. ![]() The Dragon later changed its name to Dragon Magazine and finally simply Dragon.ĭragon was the launching point for a number of rules, spells, monsters, magic items, and other ideas that were incorporated into later official products of the Dungeons & Dragons game.

In short order, however, the popularity and growth of Dungeons & Dragons made it clear that the game had not only separated itself from its wargaming origins, but had launched an entirely new industry unto itself. At the time, roleplaying games were still seen as a sub-genre of the wargaming industry, and the magazine was designed not only to support Dungeons & Dragons and TSR's other games, but also to cover wargaming in general. ![]()
