In the annals of tabletop gaming, few publications can claim as much influence and staying power as Dragon Magazine, particularly during its formative years in the 1980s. A sister publication to the more dungeon-delving Dungeon Magazine, Dragon focused on the broader aspects of role-playing games, especially those related to Dungeons & Dragons. Throughout the 1980s, Dragon Magazine was more than just a magazine; it was a crucible where gaming culture was shaped, refined, and expanded.
