White Dwarf is the house magazine of UK Tabletop Games company Games Workshop. It was first published in 1977, having developed from an earlier newsletter, Owl and Weasel, and is still going as of 2017. It is known today as a regular source of support material for that company's miniature figure wargames; however, when it first appeared, Games Workshop was primarily an importer and occasional publisher of tabletop roleplaying games, and for its first eighty or so issues, in the late '70s and early '80s, White Dwarf existed to provide support for those, becoming a central feature of the British RPG scene. Those issues are still remembered by older roleplaying gamers for a handful of innovative or exceptional articles (and some roleplayers remained angry about the magazine's transformation for years), and the magazine published the earliest work of a number of British games writers, and of one or two writers who went on to become well known in other fields.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })No connection to the movie with the same title. | |

All There in the Manual: White Dwarf has occasionally included game rules, such as with a Sisters of Battle Codex released over two issues. This includes the Movie Marines list, the premise of which was to show what would happen if you played the Space Marines as depicted in game fluff (it was Purposefully Overpowered and explicitly intended only for friendly games). | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| White Dwarf (Magazine) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: In its days as a roleplaying games magazine, White Dwarf evidently used whatever cool SF or fantasy art that the editors could lay hands on. There was no intent to deceive; the covers just hardly ever related directly to any of the contents. After it became a Warhammer wargames support mechanism, it simply used art from and for the game, making the covers reliably relevant, in a general way. | |
