If it’s a multi-volume guide, then I suspect it will be digital only.

The image is growing on me, but I'll have to wait for a high-res version to really make up my mind.

They would probably do a fade to black at the top of the image so the contrast works ok with the red font, e.g:

Yeah, I feel like there would have been ways to redeem the race and provide explanations for the things that the others found amusing/contemptuous. For example, there could be cultural reasons why they don't have a precise numeric system (there are human societies like that). Done well, it could...

The image was the same one used for the Companion Set, I believe. One of my favourites!

Entertainment Concepts was given a license for an official AD&D PBM called Talaran. It was promoted pretty heavily by TSR but seemed to collapse quickly. It's anecdotal, but I've seen reports of folk putting money into it and not getting their books, turns etc.

Thanks El, I enjoyed glancing through your article. I'll have to check out the others in your series. Regarding the "Cast of NPCs" article, I suspect my opinion was influenced by the controversy surrounding the author's company.

Yes, and to be clear - I've no objections to rocket launchers in the game, I just didn't like the page of fiddly rules that went with them.

I've just been looking back at my old articles, and realized you commented on "Dragon Reflections #1" back in 2018! @Ralif Redhammer did as well - I guess the two of you are my most enduring readers. Thank you!

TSR Inc. published Dragon #102 in October 1985. It is 100 pages long and has a cover price of $3.00. This issue features gully dwarves, gaming styles, and a new AD&D adventure! The cover, titled “The Pillage of Tantlin,” is by veteran artist Dean Morrissey. It depicts a group of gnomes who...

It depends on how you interpret the bands. If Tier 2 is $5m to $50m, then there are a few.

My guess for the tier 2 category ($5M - $50M): Paizo Inc. Chaosium Inc. Free League Publishing (Fria Ligan) Modiphius Entertainment Monte Cook Games? Goodman Games?

Hmmm…. Dictionary.com says that convicted can mean “impressed with a sense of guilt” and I think that’s what I was going for.

I meant “convicted” in the sense of a religious conviction. Perhaps not the best choice of word.

I don’t see the typo??

This was my experience too, as a gamer through the 80s. Even people who were not particularly devout were concerned that something unwholesome was going on. Indeed, my primary gaming group collapsed when the other two members attended a religious revival event and were convicted to give up...

Yes, I agree. His and Greenwood's articles are consistently the highest quality writing in the magazine.

I've read that there were some letters about the cover published in the following issues. I haven't looked into it myself yet, but I will have a closer look when I do my summary of #114.
