Greetings.
What does "TSR" stands for in jobs like "TSR foreman" or "TSR lead"? It must be somehow related to video game development; for example, Feargus Urquhart was a "TSR foreman" during the development of Blood & Magic (1996). I am at a total loss here, Google and Wikipedia don't give a single clue.

Frankly, it doesn't make sense in this context (suffice it to say, Urquhart was working at Interplay at that moment, which was the publisher of the game). Or I am missing something important.

I know nothing about this subject. But there’s also a Wikipedia page on Urquhart: Feargus Urquhart - Wikipedia.

This is apparently some sort of biography of Urquhart. (I know nothing of him or his companies).

Feargus Urquhart

Chris Avellone created adventures and source books for a number of pen-and-paper role-playing games before coming to Interplay as a designer in the then-named TSR Division. I met him in the first few days of taking over the division, and he quickly went from working as just one of the designers to the lead designer on Planescape: Torment.

Thanks, Packard, it was really helpful.

Here's what Wikipedia says about Blood & Magic:

Blood & Magic is a real-time strategy computer game released by Interplay Productions in 1996 which uses the Dungeons & Dragons license.

TSR was the company that created Dungeons and Dragons. They might have worked together on the game even though Interplay was the publisher.
