Paizo has been dipping its toes back into the Origins pool over the last couple of years. We're a show sponsor, and have gaming areas in the RPG area and in the board game area (focusing on the Adventure Card Game). We have officially pulled out of the Origins Awards due to years of...

Precisely.

I know everyone likes to think there are massive personal rivalries at stake between the cited folks, but if we did end up in such a house I imagine it would take the four of us about five minutes before we started rolling up OD&D characters for an all-night dungeon crawl.

It looks like it might be localized to Spanish? Northern and Southern Ergoth are listed in Spanish for some reason. So that's probably a good place to start…

I haven't read the whole thread, but the adventure can be played at lots of different speeds. I know people who have focused mostly on the dungeon crawl aspect and have played it at a convention. Alternatively, I know groups that took numerous sessions to make it through the dungeon, going in...

Just posting to clarify that Paizo subscriptions are exactly matched to your expectations. Since Paizo was mentioned in the quoted portion of your response, I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea. ;) --Erik

I would not put _any_ stock in that 1992 number. Is it from a circulation statement in the magazine itself? My memory is that the highpoint was a little lower,and occurred around 1983-1985 or so. There is no way in Hell TSR was distributing that many copies of Dragon in 1992. NO. WAY. There...

That is 100% for sure what happened, although the "placeholder" date was almost certainly input by someone on the publisher side of things. Whether it was the _right_ date, or whether that person should have done so is, of course, an open question that there is no way of knowing. But the listing...

Yep. We'll be doing Organized Play for the Adventure Card Game, most likely beginning in August with a "Season 0" test season. It'll be similar to Pathfinder Society in that you'll have a persistent character that develops as you play, no matter who you play with. It'll very likely involve new...

I have been following this thread since pretty much the beginning. When I inherited the mantle of Dragon's editor, I spent a LOT of time combing through the entire run of the magazine, reading almost every article that struck my fancy and sorting photocopies of key articles into a Byzantine...

Forget the Jester, the Dragon Magazine class most conspicuously missing from the article was issue #72's "Jock" class. Wow, was that dumb.

Amusingly, this has been our best-selling card deck (out of about 60) that we've released to date. It's been through about five print runs, and has sold several tens of thousands of copies. So there's a pretty good reason this sort of idea keeps coming back. ;) --Erik

As you've no doubt guessed by now, internet forums basically destroyed Dragon's Forum section, and email really put the screws to the letters section, as well. The reason I renamed Dungeon's letters-to-the-editor column "Prison Mail" around issue #114 is that 95% of all physical letters sent to...

Standard Amazon practice is to hold a reasonable amount of a given book (for some, that may be "3", while others would be in the hundreds or even thousands). When they run out, they order more from the book's distributor, with a quantity-per-book based on sales projections (Amazon in particular...

I'll take that bet. Ramp-backs on the Modules line had more to do with internal staffing and our ability to get these specific products out on time (or the lack of said ability), along with a format switch to a larger format, coupled with the chaos of the impending Emerald Spire Superdungeon...

What is "Battle of Emridy Meadows"? I'm familiar with the TOEE reference, but I don't read Dragon anymore so I missed mention of it until now. Could someone provide some details?

The color of the dragon on the cover was a misprint, and I remember being so frustrated about it that I always referred to this cover as "The Easter Dragon." The next April issue gets a bit funnier.

We'll keep making Bestiaries so long as people keep buying them, and so long as we're still proud of the monster mix and content that goes into them. In an effort to make sure we don't burn through all of our design space in a short period of time, we've released different books in that "slot,"...

That said, #329 did have the first installment of the Demonomicon of Iggwilv series that I midwifed with James Jacobs. Lots more of that sort of column coming, so here's hoping it's up your alley. If not... well, you've only got a couple years left to go before the end! :)

Looking over some of my own issues, I think #330 is the one that really starts to show articles that I actually purchased for the magazine, rather than stuff that was more or less queued up for me. I was able to make some immediate changes to things like the title of Bazaar of the Bizarre and I...
