I think that cultist is probably getting slimed with the critter's infamous mucus rather than being eaten.

I hope this is not the remains of what was to become the Red Wizards adventure path book. I was really looking forward to getting that adventure in hardcover! If you like that sort mission (as do I), I very much recommend the underrated 1e module UK3: The Gauntlet. I've always thought this...

Perhaps you are correct about the price one would have to pay. Paizo's Pathfire adventure path uses a monthly subscription magazine format, although they don't call it a magazine. These magazines (or gamebooks or modules or whatever you want to call them) cost $30 each today (cheaper by...

How I long for the return of Dungeon magazine. Magazines haven't died off yet and, for a reasonable annual subscription, you could get 4-7 adventures per month for an average of around 48-84 adventures per year. Since it was mostly written by freelancers, all you need is an editorial and...

This may sound a bit silly, but my original group and I always liked the 1e MM illustration of the rust monster rusting away the border of the box highlighting his illustration.

The pair of vampires are hot. Makes me wonder if the artist just binge watched the "Twilight" series.

She also did the cover to issue 61. Can't recall off hand if there were any other ones. (UPDATE --- She did the cover on 51 also.)

I was always intrigued by the wizard watching from the shadows. Is the boy supposed to be his apprentice or his son? I guess I'll never know.

The Susan Collins (who signed her artwork "Shay") covers for Dragon were my favorites. This one is awesome, just like all the others!

There are three Barnes & Noble stores in my general area, as well as a Books-a-Million, which is about the same size as the Barnes & Noble stores. All those stores used to keep the D&D novels in the sci-fi/fantasy section rather than the Young Adult section. I haven't checked all the stores in...

Speak for yourself! I'm a hip, out there, groovy dude!

Your presumption is that the new D&D tone does appeal to contemporary audiences. Maybe it does, but given the amount of dissatisfaction expressed in this thread, perhaps this is not what contemporary audiences want. Companies do not always do a good job of anticipating what their customers...

What does the vertical axis represent? Seems low for dollar sales per year. Is it unit sales per year or something else?

Wow, I guess I'll have to try to be somewhat careful with it (which will be rather hard to do since it's going to be scraping across on the table all the time). Maybe a bit of wear will give it some character

Anybody who has already bought the standard cover PHB sort of has a limited cover. I read that only the first printing of the PHBs will have the gold foil "50" on the back cover. Of course, the first printing will also have no errata.

The battlemats that I'm most familiar with are Published by Chessex. They've been selling them for decades. I remember seeing them at Gen Con in around 1981 or 1982 and they were too expensive for my budget, so I bought a substitute. There was a vendor at that Gen Con who sold battlemat-sized...

Fifty bucks. Prices sure have changed since I got my last Eagles album in the late 70's.

I'm only playing D&D right now and WotC only publishes 1-5 adventure books per year. If they produced more, I'd buy more. I don't generally use 3rd party adventures since the quality can vary so much and it's hard to tell which are the good ones before buying them. A short preview and...

"Living in a Material World" was one of my all-time favorite Dragon magazine articles and was one of the few ones that I photocopied and kept with me. I know that some folks don't want the complexity of having to deal with material components, but I thought it added a lot of color to MUs. It...

Right, as I mentioned, the 1e rules gave a low percentage chance that any player would have psionics. According to the 1e PHB: PCs with one or more unmodified intelligence, wisdom or charisma scores equal or greater than 16 rolls percentile dice. A roll of 100 gets them psionics. They add 2%...
