I’m reading through all of TSR’s D&D products in chronological order. Feel free to join in!
Here is the list of everything I’ve read so far along with the dates the products were published.
Notes on the dating of items is in the articles themselves. You can read some more information in the Introduction. My goal is to make this the most accurate chronological timeline of TSR D&D product release dates on the internet.
You can also view the chronological list without any magazines.
