This was fully expanded beyond miniatures in the 90s to include the new releases of Black Library, the literary publisher for Games Workshop. It was with this incarnation that White Dwarf became a true Games Workshop-only magazine. The "catalog" section featured new miniatures that were released by Games Workshop/Citadel Miniatures and even had a place where they could be ordered. When Games Workshop's products took over, White Dwarf was turned into a magazine and a "catalog". It was later, when Games Workshop started producing miniatures for their own game and branched off completely from the Dungeons & Dragons format, that White Dwarf became a monthly magazine devoted just to Games Workshop products. The original publisher was the Pentagon Printing Group and they produced the magazine for Games Workshop.
Its editor, Ian Livingstone begins the magazine by describing the creation of roleplaying games and how there are over fifty games, with ten miniature production companies, spanning many different ideas and concepts at the time.
Its first issue, June/July 1977, introduces its subject to the various types of roleplaying companies and different companies that produce miniatures. White Dwarf began as a bi-monthly magazine covering roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons.
