Dragon Storm is a role-playing game which is also a collectible common-deck card game, published by Susan Van Camp and Mark Harmon through Black Dragon Press. Van Camp had acquired the company in late 1996 after it had problems publishing Tempest of the Gods.^[1] Under her leadership, development of Tempest of the Gods was terminated to focus on Dragon Storm.^[2]

All required statistics and rules are printed on the cards. There are two types of cards: Gamemaster cards for adventure generation and Player cards for character generation. An expansion set, titled Kanchaka Valley, is available in booster form, and additional deluxe cards were created and sold on an individual basis. This is collectively known as Classic Dragon Storm.

Over past several years, Dragon Storm 2.0 (DS 2.0) has been created and developed. DS 2.0 is an updated version of the game that takes into account the first 15 years of play and corrects some errors that crept into the game over time. It also utilizes a new modular character creation system, which allows players to fully customize their characters. The Classic system, while totally viable, is more restrictive. There is also a dwindling supply of Classic product available. DS 2.0 is currently under the purview and production of The Guild for Dragon Storm.
