D&D Releases by year - complete list (almost)

[Olaf the Stout]

I didn't realise so many products were released in the mid-90's.

That's because you never tried collecting some 2e lines... good for you, it's madness!

Finished the main list of D&D products. I'm now looking for references to other RPGs. Oh boy.

There is a very good publishing history for Runequest at the Empire of the Wyrm's Friend site. It has all the Chaosium and Avalon Hill products with release dates. Unfortunately, the site is down as much as it is up.

Merric, is the beach towel in the list? Ask Diaglo if you're never heard of it before now.

Merric, if you post this over to the Acaeum forums, you'll get a lot of valuable input from folks there too!

MerricB, What on earth provoked this? Have you completely run out of things to do in the Australian Summer? The lack of water affecting your brain? The sharks eaten all your Nobby's? Run out of 4X?

That's a lot of trees!

I'd like to see numbers by year for TSR products in three categories: (A)D&D, other RPGs, & other. It'd be interesting to see TSR's evolution from a game company to a role-playing game company & the balance between D&D v. other RPGs.

Of course, it'd be really interesting if you could somehow normalize those numbers by margin.

I bought all 4 Encyclopedia Magicas, the Book of Artifacts (god knows why) as well as some of the Complete Books. The fact that I was in High School/University at the time and had close to no free cash meant that I had to miss out on a lot of books.

Even still, I simply don't remember seeing so many of these products in my FLGS. And they did have a pretty wide range.

I've wanted this list for a while now. Every so often, someone posts about how many products TSR put out, but most of the lists I'd seen (all, actually) sorted them by line, not by year. So, here's the consolidated list. Somewhat.

I left off a few promotional products and other things (like the beachtowel), but I think I should add them in to a really big list.

Cheers!
