Wee Warriors Ltd.: RPG әлемінің алғашқы аксессуарларын шығарған компания

Tabletop role playing game publisher
Wee Warriors Ltd. was a game company formed shortly after the birth of role playing games (RPGs) in the mid 1970s to publish RPG accessories. It was notable for publishing the first stand alone adventure for the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game, and for publishing the first character sheets for an RPG. The company thrived for several years while TSR distributed their unlicensed products. When TSR stopped distributing unlicensed materials, Wee Warriors tried diversifying, but ultimately ceased publication in 1978.

When TSR's Dungeons & Dragons began its quick rise to popularity, Pete and Judy Kerestan of El Segundo, California formed Wee Warriors in 1975 to publish accessories for the new game. For two years, Wee Warriors produced a variety of innovative products related to the D&D RPG market, notably the first stand alone adventure, and the first set of character sheets. Although they did not have a license to produce D&D accessories, their early products were both promoted and distributed by TSR.

Dungeon Master's Kit #1: Palace of the Vampire Queen (1976) The first stand alone RPG adventure module, set on the dwarven Isle of Baylor in the Misty Isles archipelago.) (Although TSR's Temple of the Frog was published a year prior and thus was the first RPG adventure, it was included in the Blackmoor expansion booklet, and was not a stand alone adventure.) The first several printings were loose leaf pages; later printings were in stapled pamphlet sized booklet form. Dungeon Masters Kit #2: The Dwarven Glory (1977) Another early adventure module also set on Baylor, although unrelated to the previous adventure. For a time, TSR was the main distributor of the first two adventures, despite the fact that these were unlicensed products. The Vanquished Foe (1977) a two player Dwarf versus Orc board game, set on the Isle of Baylor and thematically related to Wee Warriors' adventure modules. Dragonlord (1978) A two player board game where players are dragonlords warriors who fight each other while mounted on dragonback. Embattled Trek An unlicensed Star Trek board game The first printing was distributed by TSR and was also advertised in the second printing of TSR's Gods, Demi Gods and Heroes The Endless Dungeon (1977) a set of cardboard tiles that could be glued together to form floors and walls for use with miniatures.
