Dragonfire II: The Dungeonmaster's Assistant is a computer program published by Magicware for Apple, Commodore and IBM Personal Computers in 1985. The program, and its predecessor, were designed by Erik Brynjolfsson, who later became an MIT professor.[1] Dragonfire II was written by Steven Bergstein, who worked for Magicware and Brynjolfsson at the time.
The program is designed to assist a game master in managing table-top role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and Tunnels & Trolls, allowing the user to enter material into the menu-driven program's tables for encounters, treasure, and for generating monsters and characters.[2] The software allowed users to customize templates, permitting them to modify the system so that it would generate characters, encounters and other game requirements for a multiple role playing systems.[3]
