Old articles about the 1e monk

[No Name]

Are there any old Dragon issues that have articles on the 1e monk, or monk type stuff? Or is there some way I can search old Dragons issues?

Thanks.

There was a reworking of the monk in one of the very old issues, which was reprinted in one of the Best Of issues - I'm at work at the moment, so don't know offhand which one it was. You might also stop by dragonsfoot.org to ask this question, if you haven't already - that's the absolute best place for any 1e questions, IMO.

The article is called, "He's got a lot to kick about," and it was reprinted in best of Dragon III.

Dragon 53. Thank you for the quick response. If there are more 1e monk articles, I'm definately interested.

Thanks.

That's what I'm looking for.

I did indeed write "Bonds of Brotherhood" based on the 1st Edition Monk. If I can answer any questions about it for you, drop me a line!

That issue with your article is on my buy list. I'll definately bug you if I have any questions.

I've been playing D&D since 1e, but never really read the magazines until 3.5 (I think I might have picked up an issue or two way back in the day, but who knows what happened to them).
