[QUOTE="Orius, post: 4912718, member: 8863"] The scan does not do it justice either. And then said grognards complain "You printed that 47 issues ago! We need new stuff!" Speaking of which, this brings us to the end of 1988. Next issue begins the first articles I've actually read, this was from when WotC had old .txt files of articles from back issues of Dragon posted on the official site, but they took them down at some point (probably because of the Dragon archive). The files were from 1989-1996, probably starting with 1989 because of the introduction of 2e, though for the first few months, it's still solidly 1e and BD&D. So now there should be less peanut galleryesque comments from me and more substance as I'm actually familiar with the material. Given TSR's copyright stance from just a few years later, it doesn't seem THAT crazy in retrospect. :] By the time I started getting print issues of the magazine though, pages that were intended for photocopying did have that little disclaimer at the bottom of the page, [/QUOTE]
