The ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D'') fantasy role-playing game has been adapted into many related products, including magazines, films and video games. Magazines In 1975, TSR began publishing ''The Strategic Review''. At the time, role-playing games were still seen as a subgenre of the wargaming industry, and the magazine was designed not only to support ''D&D'' and TSR's other games, but also to cover wargaming in general. In short order, however, the popularity and growth of ''D&D'' made it clear that the game had not only separated itself from its wargaming origins, but had launched an entirely new industry unto itself. The following year, after only seven issues, TSR cancelled ''The Strategic Review'' and replaced it in 1976 with '' The Dragon'' (later ''Dragon Magazine''). Although ''Dragon Magazine'' was originally designed to support the role-playing industry in general, it has always been primarily a house organ for TSR's games with a particular focus on ''D&D''.

Bookend
A bookend is an object tall, sturdy, and heavy enough that is placed at either end of a row of upright books to support or buttress them. Heavy bookends—made of wood, bronze, marble, and even large geodes—have been used in libraries, stores, and homes for centuries; the simple sheetmetal bookend (originally patented in 1877 by William Stebbins Barnard) uses the weight of the books standing on its foot to clamp the bookend's tall brace against the last book's back; in libraries, simple metal brackets are often used to support the end of a row of books. Elaborate and decorative bookends are common as elements in home decor. Bookends are usually made of metal and plastic. The word "bookend" is also used metaphorically to refer to any pair of items which frame and define a significant or noteworthy event or place.

Chameleon (G
Chameleons or chamaeleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of Old World lizards with 200 species described as of June 2015. The members of this family are best known for their distinct range of colours, being capable of colour-shifting camouflage. The large number of species in the family exhibit considerable variability in their capacity to change colour. For some, it is more of a shift of brightness (shades of brown); for others, a plethora of colour-combinations (reds, yellows, greens, blues) can be seen. Chameleons are also distinguished by their zygodactylous feet, their prehensile tail, their laterally compressed bodies, their head casques, their projectile tongues used for catching prey, their swaying gait, and in some species crests or horns on their brow and snout. Chameleons' eyes are independently mobile, and because of this the chameleon’s brain is constantly analyzing two separate, individual images of its environment. When h ...
