Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game (aka D&D Warcraft RPG or Warcraft RPG) is the first book in the Warcraft The Roleplaying Game series, which eventually evolved into the World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game.
It acts as the first edition's core rulebook.
Initially published in 2003 under the d20 System License, it is basically a game setting for Dungeons & Dragons, 3rd Edition that lacks detailed character generation or advancement rules (so you had to own the D&D core rulebooks) and instead concentratied on describing the setting. The book contained several short stories approximately 2-3 pages in length.
- The world’s #1 fantasy RTS computer game meets the world’s #1 fantasy RPG rules system!
- Over 8 million fans around the world have enjoyed the #1-selling Warcraft® RTS (real-time strategy) computer game series. Dungeons & Dragons® Warcraft® the Roleplaying Game translates this hugely successful series into a fully interactive print roleplaying game world.

- The D&D Warcraft® RPG is published under the Open Game License and is 100% compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons® revised 3rd Edition rules and the d20 System. The game setting features brand new core classes and prestige classes, including the scout and warlock, plus other unique elements like firearms and other industrial technology that add an exciting new element to fantasy roleplay.[1]
