Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game was a role-playing game line published by Sword & Sorcery Studios. It was set in the fictional world of Azeroth from the Warcraft computer games by Blizzard Entertainment.^[1]

Nine books have been listed by Blizzard as part of the Warcraft, later World of Warcraft, table-top role-playing games. While they have been recommended on the WoW website as providing "a wealth of information about Warcraft lore",^[2] Community Manager "Bashiok" later stated that [as a whole], they are not canon to mainstream Warcraft lore, though ideas originating in the RPG books have made their way into the official Warcraft canon.^[3]

Second Edition[edit]

In 2005, White Wolf Publishing released a second edition of the game rules and renamed the series World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game to tie in with the success of World of Warcraft.

The RPG books were created to provide an engaging table-top role-playing experience, which sometimes required diverging from the established video game canon. Blizzard helped generate a great deal of the content within the RPG books, so there will be times when ideas from the RPG will make their way into the game and official lore, but you are much better off considering the RPG books non-canonical unless otherwise stated.
