However, many D&D fans continue to play older versions of the game and some third-party companies continue to publish materials compatible with these older editions.Īfter the original edition of D&D was introduced in 1974, the game was split into two branches in 1977: the rules-light system of Dungeons & Dragons and the more complex, rules-heavy system of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons ( AD&D). The current publisher of D&D, Wizards of the Coast, produces new materials only for the most current edition of the game. Several different editions of the Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D) fantasy role-playing game have been produced since 1974.
