Zikten 08/13/18 12:45:59 AM #7:	I think the original DnD company was called TSR. I don't remember what it stood for. they were bought out by Wizards of the Coast. but until like the early 2000's I think, or maybe late 90's, all DnD stuff said TSR on it. <cite>Zikten posted [p:906782219] in How did bl...
