Dragon #262, Magic of the Wee Folk. I did the gnome half of the article -- though I didn't know my work was being combined with another article until I received my copy.

I also submitted an article on kits for greyhawk that, for whatever reason, had three different sets of eyes look at it before being returned as rejected. It was nice to have the feedback, but they weren't asking me to rework and resubmit it either, that I recall.
 

18 articles back in 1E/2E days. By the time of WOTC/3E/Paizo/plagues of locusts, I had pretty much fallen out of D&D gaming, due to being moved around a lot and not finding any groups...
 

Doesn't count as writing and I was only tangentially involved...

My friends started a company and wrote software for RPGs and it was called "Dungeon Builder" or something like that. This was back in 1994 or 1995 and they did advertise in Dragon Magazine.

I was in the UK at the time and handled the sales there.
 


Had a column for six months or so, stopped right before it got turned over to Paizo. I think the last one published was on treasure chests, maybe?
 


I never submitted an article to Dragon but I was published in its little-sister magazine from TSR UK, Imagine, back in 1985. I co-wrote the cover feature* for issue 29.

Happy days.

My very first piece of published writing was a letter to Dragon in the mid 80s, rebutting an editorial by Mr. Gygax.

When I first settled into my cubicle at WotC 15 years later, one of the first things I did was track down a copy of the CD-ROM compilation of Dragon and look up that letter. I found it, and in the very same issue found a letter by Mike Selinker--who was, at that moment, sitting in the cubicle next to me! (Unfortunately, I can't verify the issue, because while I still have the CD-ROM set, that particular disk has a crack in it.)
