As a history nerd in grad school I loved Katherine Kerr's articles. I remember this issue specifically for Gygax's recommendation of Glen Cook's "Black Company", still one of my favorite books (and authors). His Black Company and Garrett P.I. novels are among my all time favorites. So, a...

49 pages of comments... it would take divine intervention for this to be well received by all, and iirc they're a bit short of gods in Darksun :D

Yep, you think they could drop "Forgotten" off of it :D Shorthand already has it as "The Realms" and in Spelljammer it's "Realmspace." Still ... that's kind of a generic name compared to other settings :)

"Into the Forgotten Realms." It was the special attraction in the issue, being a tournament adventure set in the Realms.

Oddly enough, I remember the content, not the cover. Usually, I see the cover and then remember details of the content. In this case reading the article I remember the issue. I found the cover... easy to forget I guess. Some good material in the issue.

Andy Slack's Traveller material was great. The quality of WD articles was good, but And Slacks Traveller articles made the magazine for me.

One thing I realized reading this thread... you people are (almost) all kind of young :D I'm 66 (67 in 3 months) by the way.

I was a voracious reader before I ran into D&D (in 1974). Moorcock, Anderson, Leiber, Vance, and Burroughs were already in my head. I read Tolkien in my Freshman year of high school (1972-1973), and first played D&D in the summer of 1974. I think Tolkien influenced my view of certain monsters...

Thank you for the clarification. So, any word on when the next book comes out :D

I expect errata, over spelling etc. I gather they were making adjustments to two classes in the core book. Not unusual, but annoying if you already bought it. My main questions are how long until the next printing of the core book (and will it have the errata in it) and how soon until their next...

So, how long to the next book and if they are doing errata for their core book how long until it's incorporated into the PDF and print core books. I know errata is an expected thing these days but this is pretty quick, and I'd be annoyed if I bought the dead tree core book... and I was just...

Old? Youngsters. I guess it's all relative.

Except she appears to have really liked her job(s) at WotC. Or she's terminally happy and positive :D

She's got some hair over part of the ear. I prefer my D&D a bit more medieval, but I know that's out of vogue right now.

Condolences to his family and friends. He did good work. I'm not saying he died young (he was my age) but I wonder why.
