Permanently broke me of poisons that sounded like blood types. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The article on mysteries in Dragon #240. It was a rockin' selection of intriguing elements you could drop in as plot hooks, clues, etc. It rocked so much, I wrote some of my own (see <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=kohler+mysteries+group:rec.games.frp.dnd&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=rec.games.frp.dnd&selm=3763fdad.13322387%40news.olg.com&rnum=1" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=kohler+mysteries+group:rec.games.frp.dnd&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=rec.games.frp.dnd&selm=3766a6fa.187762265%40news.olg.com&rnum=2" target="_blank">here</a>.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ed Bonny's Skills & Powers planescape article. Yes some of it was over the top, but it brought planescape in line with S&P.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The articles on gem dragons and ferrous dragons.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Don't remember the exact title of the article, but there was a naming article that provided alternate cultural names for various creatures, like calling hobgoblins "bwgan."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A plethora of paladins. This is the paladins of different alignment article that lots of people were referring to, and it is in the early 100s (105 or 106 IIRC).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What's New, with Phil & Dixie!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The three part psionics article that included the psionicist and Deryni. (Looking back through the CD archive, it was funny seeing how they warned you to use the psionicist at your own risk "because Gary didn't write it any only he knows what's balanced." As if the existing Psionics system in 1e was balanced... BID.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The creature catalogs. It chapped my hide that the third one got left out of the dragon CD archive... I had to go dig up my hardcopy.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The enchanted armors article illustrated by rk post, that had things like bug armor and force armor. I need to update that to 3e.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The article on new ioun stones in 179. It also talked about the original ioun stones as conceived by Vance, and made a sort of parallel where you could harvest them on a part of the plane of minerals that borders on the positive energy plane.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The humorous article with the wandering damage table (with interesting entries like "cut self shaving, consult limb loss table...")</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The humorous article by Roger Moore in which he states that a date with a succubus can take you from archmage to prestidigitator in a single night...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As long as people are mentioning monthly columns they like, let me throw in my pitch for the somewhat newer (but still pre-3e) Dungeon Mastery. The content of the articles varied a lot, but there were a lot of intriguing articles in there, such as the article on generations (based on a real book that posits there is a generational cycle that defines the values of successive generations, and takes this theory and puts it into practice by applying it to the NPC trait tables.)</li> </ul></blockquote>
