5.0 out of 5 stars
The last edition of an early competitor to D&D,
This review is from: DragonQuest Role Playing Game (3rd edition) (Paperback)
DragonQuest, in its first two editions was developed by SPI, a wargaming company. It was minor competition for TSR's D&D/AD&D, and arguably a better system. In the mid- to late-80s, TSR bought SPI and absorbed much of its game line. (You can tell by the Dragon magazines of the era, incorporating SPI's Ares science fiction gaming magazine in the back. These sections disappeared after a score of issues or so.)
DragonQuest was developed into a little-changed third edition by TSR. However, they never gave it much support or advertising, so it disappeared, like the rest of SPI's game line. It's a shame because DragonQuest was a crisply written, percentile-based fantasy game that could have contributed much to the genre. You can se its wargaming roots in the section numbering (48.4, 48.5, 48.6, etc.).
