TSR

TSR, Inc. , p.n. (formerly) Tactical Studies Rules Inc.; a Lake Geneva, Wisconsin-based publisher of hobbyist games and fantasy literature, founded in 1974 by E.

Addendum #2: Before the downturn of the company, it was often pejoratively referred to as T$R by gamers who felt that the company was just producing supplements only to make money. Now, of course, they look fondly back on TSR as they think that WotC/Hasbro are just producing supplements (and new editions) only to make money.
