The only other third party publications mentioned in that section are those by Judges Guild. Remember, too, that the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide explicitly references White Dwarf in a section entitled "Aids to Playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons," mentioned by side by side with Dragon. I think that's significant, because it's a useful reminder of just how early it appeared in the history of the hobby. Issue #1 is listed as June/July 1977, which is one year after the first issue of TSR's Dragon appeared. That's why, after the cessation of my examination of Different Worlds, I knew that my next series would be dedicated to White Dwarf. Consequently, I have no direct knowledge of the magazine's early days, which I imagine were pretty wild and woolly. Likewise, when I did read it more regularly, it wasn't until late 1982, long after White Dwarf was well established and had settled into a comfortable run. It's a RPG magazine that I only read intermittently back in the day and so my memories of it are not as vivid as those of Dragon. I've talked about my experiences with White Dwarfbefore.
