What are the best dragon articles?

[arscott]

The advisors for the campus game club I belong to just had an officer appreciation dinner, which included a white elephant gift exchange. I ended up with a set of CDs containing the first 250 Issues of dragon.

That's almost 20 years of magazine. So help me narrow it down. What stuff is worth a close look right away, and what stuff isn't worth the paper it isn't technically printed on?

There is a link within that thread to a much longer one that covers the 250.

The Voyage of the Princess Ark articles are my favorites.

 

[Grazzt]

Good Hits and Bad Misses, Dragon 39 (IIRC)

The Anti-Paladin (again Dragon 39 I think)

The Witch (Dragon 114)

Ecology of the Nine Hells (Dragon 75, 76)

The Death Master (Dragon 76)

...just off the top of my head sitting at work with no access to my Dragon collection at the moment.

The Politics of Hell by Alexander Van Thorne IIRC, I don't have the Issue # but I saw it in Best of Dragon Vol. III.

Also Ed Greenwood's article on Hell, there was a third one besides the two Grazzt mentions.

Hmm, I see a theme there.

I liked the Wizard's Three Articles.

The Psionic articles by Arthur Collins in Issue #79 IIRC.

The article of Timelord NPC class (fantasy), but I don't remember the issue. Which reminds me of the article in another issue with the history of Dr Who (SciFi).

And who could forget the editorial (though I don't remember who wrote it or which issue it's in) about Tucker's Kobolds. That editorial has gotten me out of so many tight spots I can't count that high - but I'll say that a flaming table came in handy one time!

Lucky you! What gift did you put in because I think you got a pretty good one out of it.
