"Dragon" was the launching point for a number of rules, spells, monsters, magic items, and other ideas that were incorporated into later official products of the "Dungeons & Dragons" game. A prime example is the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, which first became known through a series of "Dragon" articles in the 1980s by its creator Ed Greenwood. It subsequently went on to become one of the primary campaign "worlds" for official "Dungeons and Dragons" products, starting in 1987. The magazine appeared on the cover as simply "Dragon" from July 1980, later changing its name to "Dragon Magazine" starting November 1987.
