Review: The Strategic Review - Summer 1975

Volume 1, Issue 2

If there’s a sacred text for the old-school dungeon master, this issue of The Strategic Review might be one of them.

Vol. 1, No. 2 — published in the summer of 1975 — isn’t just another hobby zine. It’s a snapshot of TSR in its raw, formative years. The issue opens on a somber note, a dedication to Donald R. Kaye, co-founder of Tactical Studies Rules. You feel the weight of that loss. This isn’t just business. These were people. Friends. Gamers. And yeah, dreamers too.
