    I used the Peltast in one campaign. The player never did figure out why she was immune to poison and was revived at low hit points instead of going negative. :cool:

    So glad I got my copy of the CDs when they first came out. I've been going through the issues and sorting the articles for my own use and I'm up to #154. But for finding stuff I rely on the Dragondex.

    I like the whimsical covers.

    That combat computer got a lot of use when I was in college. It was while using it that I realized the different 'to hit' vs. different armors actually made some sense, like piercing weapons being better against chain but worse against plate.

    From Different Worlds 28, April 1983, the closing of a letter titled "An Open Letter to Gary Gygax": It is then signed with the names of thirteen people. From Different Worlds 26, January 1983, part of the RPG rumor column "A Letter from Gigi", by Gigi D'Arn: These were probably the articles...

    Oh yeah. While I have all the PDFs on my hard drive, there's no way I'm letting those CDs go. That and my 1st printing of Deities & Demigods. There's probably some other old collectible goods I have, but those two stand out in my memory.

    Because they didn't do anything to get permission to reprint all the material that TSR didn't own. Self-inflicted trouble.

    As great as he was, I really liked the ones by Daniel Craig.

    I love reading these, but I fall behind on the latest ones. In my own attempts to go through the old issues, I'm up to #145. But I skip reviews and don't read every word of every article.

    I was big into Traveller by the time this issue came out, so I loved the adventure and the fiction.

    Always thought is was a shame the old SSI Gold Box games didn't allow for bards. If you took a human ranger up to MU spell-casting level and then dual-class as an MU, you got to wear full armor and cast spells eventually. Would have been interesting to see a bard in the game. That said, yeah...

    I remember playing through "Cavern Quest". Since by that time, I was almost exclusively a DM, I managed to score pretty high… "Abomination" is one of the few pieces of fiction from Dragon I remember reading and enjoying. Most of the adventures I ran were adaptions of published modules, and I...

    I still have my copy of Thieves' World. But the box is long gone. I originally bought it because it included Traveller! Though I had read some of the books, too. I have an interesting story about the bounty hunters. Like many stories that are interesting, it is also a little embarrassing. I...

    Didn't realize I'd fallen behind on reading these. Obviously I need to be more consistent about checking. The only time I've played a game like Killer was my freshman year of college. We weren't using the Killer rules and just had a particular dart gun that had to be used. I remember that range...

    Dragon Reflections #51

    One of my favorite issues. I think I created a Winged Folk character for a campaign that never actually happened. I was already a fan of Traveller, so that set of articles was great to see. Played SftET quite a few times. I recall after I separated the game out of the magazine, I misplaced the...
