White Dwarf is a gaming magazine published by Games Workshop, and first published in June/July 1977 CE.
- 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".
- According to Ian Livingstone, one of the founders of Games Workshop, the name White Dwarf was chosen because it refers to fantasy (...a Dwarf is a Tolkienesque character) but also to science fiction (...a white dwarf is a dense star).
