I suppose most reading this already know, but just in case- the author of the Fiend Factory article mention above, Don Turnbull, wrote the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh and edited Fiend Folio. Definitely an accomplished fellow :)

I stared at the ads for it with deep longing, but my PC wasn't up to the task (386sx 1MB RAM, 40MB HDD). You can read a fun review of the game on pg 124 here: https://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/issues/cgw_113.pdf

Wow- that's a great idea and a great writeup!

I still have my physical copy of this one. That cover is so iconic to me.

Ah, thank you! It was driving me crazy!!

I've seen this a couple places around the web today, but I haven't seen what I'd call a "primary source". How did people find out about this? Was there an announcement? I can't find a link anywhere. (Sorry if I'm being dumb and missed it)

Nice interview- planegea sounds really neat! BTW, I clicked on this link in your bio and got a 404:

Thank you!!! I couldn’t figure it out (I’m slow today, I guess). As everyone else is saying, really cool article and clearly so much work. Thank you. And for explaining the joke :) I can go about my day in peace!

I know that was a single line joke, but I can’t stop wondering. What was it? What U monster would be a bad idea??

Sweet Baby Cheese Whiz! It's everything I ever wanted!

a) $25 b) $60 c) $80 d) $15, $40, $40 I don't know if these are logical numbers. I just don't like PDFs that much. It might be because I'm old, but I prefer physical media.

Yeeeees!! As a kid I loved dralasites. I forgot they made it in too!

"Giant space hamsters did not evolve naturally, as one might guess. They were created by a gnome research committee attempting to develop a relatively passive creature large enough to wind up the giant rubber bands attached to the huge running wheels inside gnomish spelljammer craft." So in...

Here's what I want- no expectation that it would happen. A boxed set like the original Spelljammer boxed set, with a hex map and ship tokens, and rules for space combat between ships, explanations of how spelljamming works, etc. Then a second book that details the FR crystal sphere and has an...

A couple stood out to me. I liked the damage charging powers of that great axe- that just seemed cool. But the one that really piqued my interest was Frojack's belt. Partly because I like that it grants the wearer great strength, but with that strength comes some exhaustion. I like mechanics...

Oh yeah, I was going to do that. When I get home from work, I'll skim again and let you know!

I’m reading issue #4 while listening to the rain outside. It’s perfect accompaniment. I love the details about the various campaigns through the years and D&D editions. I miss zines, and it’s great to have one in physical form.

Sweet! Ordered! :)

What a great story- thank you for sharing that! I think I watched that documentary, but I don’t remember that part. Clearly need to watch it again! 🤣
