History
While still in high school, Stewart Wieck and Steve Wieck decided to self-publish their own magazine, and Steve chose the name "White Wolf" after Elric of Melniboné; White Wolf #1 was published by their White Wolf Publishing in August 1986 and distributors began to order the magazine a few issues later as its print runs continued to increase.{{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons: The '90s|publisher=Evil Hat Productions|year=2014| isbn=978-1-61317-084-7}}{{rp|7–8}} In 1990, Lion Rampant and White Wolf Publishing decided to merge into a new company that was simply called "White Wolf", and in an editorial in the magazine Stewart Weick explained that the magazine would still be independent even though the company was now involved in role-playing game publication.{{rp|9–10}} The name of the magazine was changed to White Wolf: Inphobia as of issue #50 (1995), but the magazine was ultimately cancelled with issue #57.{{rp|21–22}}
