Over the past two years the state of the art of wargaming has seen dramatic change. Until the only tanks, French Hussars and Ancient Britons were to be seen roaming the wargaming tables. But in 1974 two Americans by the names of Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson had just finished putting together a set of rules that were to revolutionise the hobby. They had invented DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (D&D).

D&D was the first (and still is the best) commercially produced game based on a Fantasy/Sword & Sorcery theme. This, together with the ingenious concept of 'role-playing', opened up new horizons in games playing. Firstly, the use of monsters and magic would introduce completely new combat system. Secondly, players would begin to identify with the characters they role-played to protect them at all costs. Being so original it was obvious that D&D was going to have tremendous impact on the games world. And so it did.

Today, there are over 50 games available based on Science Fiction and Fantasy(SF/F). There are also 10 companies making SF/F ranges of minature figurines. There are literally thousands of SF/F novels which offer a wealth of background information. It is a combination of these which has made SF/F gaming a hobby in its own right and it is in support of these games, with particular reference to D&D that this magazine has been published.

It is hoped that WHITE DWARF will serve as a vehicle for articles and comment on SF/F gams . This is issue 1, we hope you like it.
