Roger E. Moore (born July 11, 1955 in Winchester, Kentucky)[1] is a designer of role-playing games. He is best known for his long-running tenure as editor of Dragon magazine, and was the founding editor of Dungeon magazine.
Moore graduated from the University of Kentucky with a major in Psychology, then entered the U.S. Army as a mental health counsellor.[1] While in Fort Bragg during the summer of 1977, he first learned about role-playing games.[2] Moore became a regular contributor of articles to Dragon beginning in 1980. He joined TSR, Inc. as a magazine editor in May 1983, progressing through the ranks to become the editor of both Dungeon and Dragon magazines in 1986. Moore moved to the games division in 1993, where he became creative director of the AD&D core rules product group. He joined Wizards of the Coast in 1997 when TSR was acquired and continued to write and edit gaming materials of all sorts, finally leaving the company in late 2000. Moore has written fiction for Dragonlance and other game worlds. He is the author of Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins, which won the 1998 Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement.[3]
Moore is a past member of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
