Editor's Letter from Matt Chapman - "Matt Chapman gets tearfully nostalgic for old D&D videogames, overly excited for new D&D videogames, and a little bit scared by a newcomer known as Belaphoss, Devourer of Hope and Dread General of the Gibbering Hords. Gulp."

Demononicon of Iggwilv: Belaphoss - "Everything you ever wanted to know about Sword Coast Legends' main baddie Belpahoss but were too petrified to ask."

Fiction: The Thweem - "A peace-loving Underdark inhabitant gets a brush with madness in D&D writer Adam Lee's short story."

Interview: Jay Turner - "The narrative director of Sword Coast Legends offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at the CRPG."

Video & Audio Highlights - "Canadian rocker Matthew Good talks about his love of the world of Greyhawk and charity fundraising scores a critical hit with Extra Life 2015."

Beyond the Board: Dice Masters - "Dungeons & Dragons Dice Masters draws upon classic D&D elements to bring a fantasy touch to this dice building game."

A Crit of that Great Axe... Ouch

It works out at 9d10+8 Slashing damage + 9d6 Fire damage. Thats insane!

Thanks for that! Was able to get larger versions of the art that way than by taking screenshots of them on my phone.

So here's that pdf of Belaphoss. How does he compare to the generic balor in the MM?

Virtually the same. Same stats and hit points, a few more condition immunities, +1 CR, great axe instead great sword (fire instead of lightning too), and the added actions abyssal storm and winged barrage. A little bump.

Stupid question for you. How can I go about getting that free adventure pdf onto my laptop? I can't seem to save it on my iPhone... I don't play in the AL so I don't really have a clue on where I might find this elsewhere to download.

As stated by WotC, in this thread, they are working on it. In addition, in this thread, there are links to the PDF versions of the adventure and Belaphoss and explanation on how to download them. So it looks like your immediate and future needs have been or will be solved. Happy Day!

If you don't want to wait, it's pretty easy actually.

On page 22 of the issue, click on the "share" link (Top right corner on an iphone) and email the page to yourself. Open your email on your laptop and click the link to download the pdf of that page. In that pdf, will be a link to the Shackles of Blood PDF that you can click and a snazzy new pdf will appear on your computer. Save it and you're good to go. Bit of a PITA, but, only a couple of steps. Takes about 10 seconds.

Could anyone post the links to all PDFs from all issues?

This way nobody needs to deal with the hideous buggy bloat of an app and still access the content AND get it in an infinitely more user accessible format.

Thanks.

Pauln6 and Valador - read the thread completely. People have posted how to download this to your PC in this thread.

Could anyone post the links to all PDFs from all issues?

That would probably constitute copyright violation, such that we'd have to take them down. So, please folks, don't do this.

I have been enjoying Dragon+ so far for what it is (it's free monthly content from WotC) but I have to say I LOVE this month's cover artwork.

Gauntlet Gophers is downright awful

I was able to get the pdf to a pc by emailing the link (before you download it to phone tap the article, send by email to yourself. open the email on the PC , hit the download button and it will come up as a pdf. It's been said before earlier in this topic.
