Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game was a tabletop role-playing game line published by Sword & Sorcery Studios, set in the fictional world of Azeroth from the Warcraft computer games by Blizzard Entertainment. The Warcraft RPG was "100% compatible" with the Dungeons & Dragons revised third edition rules, and was released under the Open Game License.
Nine books have been listed by Blizzard as part of the Warcraft, later World of Warcraft, tabletop role-playing games. While they have been recommended on the WoW website as providing "a wealth of information about Warcraft lore", Community Manager "Bashiok" later stated that these books sometimes diverge from the established canon of lore in the Warcraft video games, though some ideas originating in the RPG books have made their way into the official Warcraft canon.
