Game Designers' Workshop (GDW) was a company that published many popular wargames, as well as role-playing games such as Traveller and Drang Nach Osten!. Founded in 1973, the company disbanded in 1996 after having suffered financial troubles for quite some time. Many of their games are now carried by other publishers.

The company was originally established June 22, 1973 by Frank Chadwick, Rich Banner, Marc Miller, and Loren Wiseman. Originally their main effort went into the Europa series of monster wargames, of which Drang Nach Osten! was merely the first, but they brought out a considerable number over the years.
