History & Background (Dossier)

Dragon magazine was born in 1976, as an outgrowth of the popularity of Dungeons and Dragons. Between 1976 and 2002 Dragon was published by TSR, and then by Wizards of the Coast.

Although Dragon Magazine was originally designed to support the roleplaying industry in general, it has always been primarily a house organ for TSR's (or more recently Wizards of the Coast's) role-playing games with a particular focus on D&D.

In 2002, Paizo Publishing acquired the rights to publish Dragon under license from Wizards of the Coast.
