I can't recall saying that specifically, but it's not a bad rule of thumb. I do notice that some folks are reluctant to pay above $20 for a PDF. They really want a lot of value.

What an excellent discussion, and I look forward to listening to the interview when I have a few moments. There has been a lot of discussion about the DMs Guild. Given my history with the platform, I have thoughts. Mike Shea and I have discussed this endlessly in other forums. For an...

It's great to hear from you, Steve! Regarding Arn's gender, when I was writing the article, I googled and found his obituary. He sadly passed away in 2008 at the youngish age of 47. Obituary of Arn Ashleigh Parker: Arn Ashleigh Parker

I've enjoyed the discussion about falling damage greatly - it takes me back to 1985! We used to agonize over such matters ("why can my 10th level fighter survive a 100 foot drop onto rock? that's ridiculous!"). And then someone would find a story about a WWII pilot who somehow survived a 3,000...

Dragon Publishing released Dragon #87 in July 1984. It is 100 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. The cover is called "The Enchanted Forest" by Jack Crane and is a colourful scene featuring adventurers under attack from hostile vegetation. Crane painted six covers for Dragon and has a...

That's great! What were your favourite articles in the issue?

What articles stand out to you now?

Aside from this issue of Dragon and B6, is anyone aware of other places that TSR used cutout terrain?

Ah, the mistake was entirely mine. I use Forgotten Realms wiki for monster research sometimes, and it led me astray in this instance. I should have realized the dates don't match up!

Dragon Publishing released Dragon #86 in June 1984. It is 100 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. The cover is by Denis Beauvais and depicts a pair of knights battling on a multi-level chessboard. Beauvais painted many Dragon covers. Interior artists include Harry Quinn, Roger Raupp...

There is a lot of D&D and RPG material being published online, much of it free! Each week, I send out a list of the ten most interesting D&D articles I've come across. Following is a compilation of the hundred links I sent out between September and November: Sly Flourish suggests you...

Yeah, I like it a lot too and still use it occasionally

In what way has the time passed?
