That sapphire dragon looks like a delicious piece of hard candy. Yummy!

It' interesting that I still remember "Grakt's Crag" all these years later, even though it's probably been over 40 years since I looked through this issue. I got my first set of PHB/DMG/MM books May 1980, and I think I this may have been one of the first modules I ran for my players, but it's...

The problem is that most of the old modules folks are nostalgic over are either Judges Guild or TSR, and WotC is apparently not currently licensing out any more TSR stuff for updates. I suppose that's because they've decided to do it themselves in some cases (Yawning Portal, Ghosts of...

I usually waited until the OARs made it to Amazon so I could get them at a slightly discounted price and not have to pay pay shipping, but it looks like I'll have to become a backer and pay full price in this case since it probably won't be available anywhere else. At $150-$200 (and that's just...

Sounds like Joe's got some difficult numbers to crunch. He want to sell exactly a certain amount of the item (any fewer and people will only get a portion refunded, any more and JG gets some proceeds). But, he has to figure out what to charge for it and the variable tariff situation will push...

Three of the adventures say suitable for a solo player. The other one is the level 7 bronze dragon adventure.

I liked "Dragon+" as well. Although I'd rather have paper copies, I shouldn't complain about that aspect of it since it was free. It's unfortunate that the issues didn't have a regular delivery schedule and finally petered out. One thing that I did dislike about "Dragon+" was that you needed...

Although not nearly as good as having paper copies, I would be down for something like this as long as it was quality material that I could permanently own and download rather than something where I'd have to maintain an active subscription in order to access it.

I miss the comics and ads in Dragon as well. I think my favorite part was the "TSR Previews", later called "New Releases". Back in ancient times when Dragon had adventure modules in them (before Dungeon magazine), that was by far my favorite section of the magazine.

As a little aside, one or more of the posts above mentioned the cardstock deck of many things that was included in Dragon 148 (and the grayscale copies of the same deck included in Dungeon 19 along with an adventure module making use of those cards). Dragon had some cool inserts over the years...

Yes, although they didn't carry them in my local supermarkets, I got my copies at my FLGS or at one of the local bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Waldenbooks, B-Dalton, or Brentano's) rather than by subscription since there was no telling what kind of condition they would arrive in if sent through...

I think there were several reasons people didn't pick up this product. First, it had a narrow focus. Second, as you mentioned, the price was pretty hefty for such a focused item (not that the contents weren't worth it for those who wanted to shell out the bucks). Third, the early...

I never saw Dragon or Dungeon issues at supermarkets or Target stores even when they were going strong. My local Books-A-Million carried all the Pathfinder adventure path issues (along with a selection of other Pathfinder Products). However, they stocked the AP periodicals in the RPG section...

The Morrissey covers are indeed fantastic. Love the detail he put in them. I never liked the DL modules from the moment I first saw them because I hate railroad gaming. One thing that I recall from the earliest DL modules that that the PCs weren't even allowed to kill off major NPCs who...

I'm an old fashioned pen and paper dude who has used digital tools for a few things but never in group play. I can see how they would be handy for people in different geographic locations playing together and, I must say, the graphics looked beautiful. However, after watching the "D&D direct"...

I guess you'll consider me old fashioned but, if a player (or the entire party) wishes to construct a base of operations, I prefer having them do it in the way that was first described in the 1e DMG and later expended upon in other products. The original DMG had a price list for everything from...

I didn't in 1981 when I bought my first Fiend Folio.

Looks like the type of covers on the sci-fi novels I was reading in the '70s and '80s.

The assassin bug mentioned above was one of the critters that made it into the Fiend Folio (page 12). I remember that critter mainly because of it's super-cool, terrifying name. When thumbing through the book, it's hard not to stop and read an entry titled "assassin bug." To digress briefly...
