Imagine was a monthly magazine dedicated to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition and Basic Dungeons and Dragons systems published by TSR UK Limited between April 1983 and October 1985. The print run lasted for 30 monthly issues and one special edition before its cancellation. It also had reviews, articles and adventures for other game systems that were also available in the UK at the time.
Don Turnbull was cited as publisher and Paul Cockburn as assistant editor throughout the majority of the lifetime of the publication.
Imagine was responsible for several creative spin-offs, notably the Pelinore campaign setting. The magazine also featured the comic The Sword of Alabron in issues 1 to 16. This was briefly revived as a second story arc titled Auchter's Axe in issues 29 to 30 prior to the magazine's cancellation.
Neil Gaiman wrote film reviews for several issues of Imagine in the early part of his career, taking over from Colin Greenland, and had his first short story "Featherquest" published here in May 1984. Gaiman's "How to Sell the Ponti Bridge", reprinted for the first time in M is for Magic, was also first published here in March 1985. [1]
