[edit]Can someone rewrite a more neutral history of TSR games? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmhermen (talk • contribs) 20:56, 1 August 2001 (UTC)

I've taken a stab at it, although I think it would be difficult to deny: a) that the company was debt-ridden and close to insolvancy, b) that it attempted to bring legal action against people supplying material for its own games and c) that the said action was unpopular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rrees (talk • contribs) 20:15, 2 August 2001 (UTC)
I've spoken with/interviewed several ex-TSR folks about its history. In fact, the reality makes even the "non-neutral" history seem complimentary in comparison. The company's management were not gamers, did not like gamers, and cared not one whit about the customers themselves. There is much documentary evidence and 1st hand reports supporting the above comments. Search on the web a bit to learn more. There was a good article called "Opening the Dungeon" in Salon about a year or two ago that goes into some of this. Also see Gary Gygax's own website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.216.199.xxx (talk) 21:17, 2 August 2001 (UTC)
synonymous with D&D
[edit]It is weird to me that the D&D related TSR is last... surely it is what a majority of people mean when they search Wikipedia for TSR. After all, the company went by it's initials -- I remember in pre-internet days it was almost impossible to figure out what the letters even stood for. --75.205.120.213 (talk) 02:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
