White Dwarf is a gaming magazine published by Games Workshop, and first published in June/July 1977.

  • Some of the early editions featured articles about Traveller.
  • The last regular issue of White Dwarf to feature Traveller content material was issue 82 in 1986 CE. Occasional product reviews occurred after this date.

Description (Specifications)

The full title is "White Dwarf, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Games Magazine".
