Dungeon Issue 76: Sep/Oct 1999 part 4/5 Crusader: It's so easy to take the piss out of the whole paladin concept. Between criticisms that hitting things really well is maybe not the skillset best equipped to spreading good throughout the world and moral relativity deconstructing the whole...

Dungeon Issue 76: Sep/Oct 1999 part 3/5 Side Treks - A Day at the Market: There's a Gray Ooze loose in the marketplace! You go years without one and suddenly two turn up just a few months apart from one-another. Probably both inspired by something recent in wider media, like most of these...

Dungeon Issue 76: Sep/Oct 1999 part 2/5 The House on the Edge of Midnight: Bringing people back to life never goes well in Ravenloft. But there’s always someone who’s not genre-savvy enough to do it anyway and doom themselves to an eternity of ironic punishment. The Ramsay family forgot...

Dungeon Issue 76: Sep/Oct 1999 part 1/5 92 pages. Darkness is closing in once again and the cover takes us to the frozen north, where lots of monsters grow very big as it's a good way to conserve heat, yet retain an uncanny skill at blending in with the background until it's time to...

Polyhedron Gen Con Special: August 1999 part 3/3 Food Fight!: Another food related article? How curious. Well, we've seen several comedy adventures that degenerate into brawls in the cafeteria in here, so it's not completely out of character. However, on closer reading it turns out that...

Polyhedron Gen Con Special: August 1999 part 2/3 There's Magic Afoot: Magical footwear isn't one of the most common types of magical items, but it's nowhere near the rarest either. We had several recently in Dragon 250 & 256, so apparently interest in them is on an upswing at the moment...

Polyhedron Gen Con Special: August 1999 part 1/3 16 pages. Polyhedron's schedule has already been somewhat erratic this year. Now they slip in an extra issue outside the regular numbering in a similar way to the one they did 10 years ago, aimed specifically at newbies who signed on at Gen...

Dungeon Issue 75: Jul/Aug 1999 part 5/5 Into the Nest of Vipers: Ooh, here's another one where having read the various magazines all the way through from the beginning is beneficial, as we're going back to the tiny town of Sevenecho, last seen in Polyhedron 87. A group of bandits have...

Dungeon Issue 75: Jul/Aug 1999 part 4/5 The Forgotten Man: Ah, now here's a plotline that's appears repeatedly in TV shows but they haven't done in the magazine yet. A memory loss episode! A powerful antipaladin (see Dragon issue 39) who caused devastation centuries ago was sealed away in...

Dungeon Issue 75: Jul/Aug 1999 part 3/5 The Amulet and the Underdark: A macguffin retrieval mission? That's also a pretty familiar plotline by now. The head of one fiefdom sent a gift to another as a peace offering after many years of conflict. Unfortunately, it was intercepted by bandits...

Dungeon Issue 75: Jul/Aug 1999 part 2/5 Non-Prophet Organisation: Another issue, another covey of hags causing trouble for a small town. They're trying to put a weak-willed patsy in power by sending him dreams of upcoming disasters and then making them happen, so he can stop them and gain...

Dungeon Issue 75: Jul/Aug 1999 part 1/5 92 pages. We've already seen them make a big deal about the return of Monks & Assassins recently in the Scarlet brotherhood book. Now they're trumpeting the return of the anti-paladin on the cover of this issue, which is another pretty strong sign of...

Polyhedron Issue 137: July 1999 part 5/5 Recipe for Mutiny: Like last issue, the adventure this time is a single encounter that's designed to liven up a dull bit in a session rather than filling a whole one. The PC's are on a ship voyage when the first mate tries to pull a Starscream and...

Polyhedron Issue 137: July 1999 part 4/5 Mentors, Patrons & Sponsors: Here we go again. Time for some more basic roleplaying advice. It can be a lot quicker and easier to get to the fun part of adventuring if you have someone more powerful giving you a leg up, providing you with equipment...

Polyhedron Issue 137: July 1999 part 3/5 Techie Toys for all Ages: Gauss Grenades emit an electromagnetic pulse that thoroughly messes up all electronic gadgets in the area. In Shadowrun, this can be very expensive and potentially lethal if large parts of your body are replaced with...

Polyhedron Issue 137: July 1999 part 2/5 Member Spotlight: The profilee this time is Greg Dreher, one of their most prolific adventure writers. Since 1995 he's produced 23 of them, with no signs of stopping. That's one every couple of months! I guess RPGA adventures are pretty short, but...

Polyhedron Issue 137: July 1999 part 1/5 32 pages. Down into a dungeon? With some leering humanoids? That’s not very mysterious or unknown to us by now, even if the question of how they got behind the explorer is a bit worrying. I guess that’s a reminder that you should be careful with...

Nice. That never showed up on any of my google searches, which demonstrates just how annoying their SEO algorithms are becoming these days in pushing people onto the same few big websites.

Polyhedron UK Issue 5: June(?) 1999 part 5/5 Mailbag: First letter complains that UK members can't access the USA website stuff that requires a login. That's because they're on separate databases and can't share all the details across countries without falling foul of data protection laws...

Polyhedron UK Issue 5: June(?) 1999 part 4/5 Justice is on the Cards: The centrepiece of the issue is unsurprisingly tied into the cover, giving us a full colour 4-page look into the new Judge Dredd CCG and the process of it's development. A bunch of the main culprits give their sides of...
