Ugh, tell me about it. And I love video games. I think we'll see "tabletop" RPGs in the future, but they'll be played online in virtual simulators that do all the math and provide much more interesting miniatures. Despite all that, the human element will remain, and that's the point.

Heh, I remember this Yamara strip. This is where the series REALLY starts to get weird.

Really, you can't move and cast a spell in 2nd edition? I must have forgotten about that. Wow, that's just mean.

Wow, they beat The Gamers (and like umpteen webcomics) by quite a bit on this one! I'm surprised the trope's that old.

It happened during a busy time for me, but I think we hit my very first issue just recently. I can't remember which, though. I thought it had castle stuff and the Yamara where a ghost makes off with the party fighter, but apparently those are two separate issues?

This confused me on my first pass, and it isn't any better this time. Who are Allycia and Scud again?

Huh, I forgot about the Fantasy Zone review. That's pretty damn weird for the time, as Dragon mostly ignored the console and arcade markets. Or maybe I'm just remembering wrong and we're about to get reviews for Zelda and whatnot.

Oh, Yamara! So, you caught the point of my recent hinting then? =) Yamara is still my favorite Dragon strip (though it helps I missed Wormy and most of Snarfquest at the time,) mostly for the weirder scenarios it gets into later. But I'm puzzled by something. Judging by your description...

Um, I don't suppose you could go into further detail with Dragonmirth, can you? Was there anything new in, say, that last issue?

The Forgotten Realms games sure were popular with me. Pool of Radiance was what got me into D&D in the first place!

Regarding Roger, sadly he had the same fate as Wormy's writer and more or less dropped off the face of the Earth. I think people know he's alive and well, but he wants nothing to do with the industry anymore. Shame; I actually met the guy and his son at my first Gen Con.

Huh, I think I remember that adventure. Isn't there a way to go across the side and fight margoyles or gargoyles or something? In fact, if this is the adventure I'm thinking of, I think they remade it for 3rd edition near the end of dungeon's run as well.

Wow, that was pretty damn specific, no pun intended. How far ahead did Keith plan this?

You know, maybe Tiamat works a bit like Demogorgon. So one head is pissed about all her dead children and the other four are calling to congratulate them on making their children more powerful!

I remember this one, too! I didn't ever find people to play it, but still, memories. Between this and the Jack Chick editorial, this is arguably one of the earliest magazines I read, and certainly one that struck me harder than most. Apparently single-digit age me completely blipped past...

Ah, airships. Maybe it's all the Final Fantasy and other video games, but I've always had a soft spot for those big flying anachronisms. I even gave one to my current party. Actually, they're up to two now; it remains to be seen what they'll do with them.

Of course, there is a more morbid reason for people to hope that the strip reaches a logical conclusion at some set point in the relatively near future, and the comparisons to Wheel of Time are even more valid. Let's face it, an artist known for periodic bouts of (as far as I know) unknown...

Talking about RPGs on the Internet? That will never catch on. :)

Honestly, until you mentioned your game's location, I had no idea you were British. I might have just missed earlier references, though.

Huh, I can think of at least one pretty cool samurai named Jack. :) That's a remarkable coincidence, really. I wonder if the cartoon's creators read this issue.
