  1. @Tim_Eagon There was a Dragon article called "Greyhawk 2000" that proposed a possible future. We never advanced the timeline *that* far though. :)

  2. BUT ... this is why we've adventured in #Greyhawk for 30 years. Most of the campaign setting *is not* documented.

    Sure, it's nice when you can pull out a source book (or a #DragonMagazine) that details a particular place, but it's also great to just freestyle and create your own iteration of a place.

  3. Found an even earlier reference to measuring #miniatures by eye height in the November 1979 issue of #DragonMagazine. It's also the earliest article I've found that describes "six feet" as the average soldier height.

  4. This Old Dragon: Issue #85
    This issue of Dragon is quite memorable to me. It was the very first issue I ever bought. Sure, I had read Dragon lots before this, but this one was the first.

  5. This Old Dragon: Issue #124
    August of 1987 was a transitional time. Both for me (headed off to University) and for Dragon and AD&D. While the years between 1st and 2nd editions are sometimes downplayed, they did produce some good material.

  7. In Search Of...Ramal LaMarr
    In 1985, Dragon Magazine ran ads for belly dance LPs marketed as “Music for Adventure Gaming.”
    For years, I wondered: Who was Ramal LaMarr?
    After a lot of digging, I finally found the answer.

  8. The month I began playing #DnD (December 1983), #DragonMagazine published a mildly-mathematical article asserting #ADnD coins must therefore be approximately the size of an Eisenhower dollar coin. This conclusion also amused me, and I never forgot it.

  9. Happy Fourth of July! Come in out of the heat and do a little shopping for your RPG collection.

    I'm having a 15% off sale starting today, ending next Tuesday, July 8th.

  10. There is a #ShortStory about a poor young(?) unprivileged elf(?) #wizard that is desperate to research a spell involving #TimeTravel. It's a pretty enjoyable read even though the twist at the end would probably be considered cliched by today's standards.

    I read it in #DragonMagazine or one of the other #DnD magazines of the 80s or 90s. Does this vague description ring a bell for anyone? Could you tell me the name/author? I'd like to track it down and read it again.

  11. Visiting my hometown to deal with my late parents' estate. The bookstore I used to buy #DnD (and #StarFrontiers) stuff at is a shawarma restaurant now. Among other things, I bought my first copy of #DragonMagazine here!

  12. Vanne retrouvé dans un de mes vieux dragon magazine... Près de 30 ans après, elle me fait toujours autant pouffer.

  13. From #DragonMagazine number 293.

    This is a great article on #WorldBuilding and sums up my thoughts on prep for #DungeonsAndDragons (or any #TTRPG for that matter) - know your world.

  14. Some inspirational reading tonight. Having a chill after a big week. #DnD #OSR #DragonMagazine #DungeonsAndDragons

  15. Reading #DragonMagazine number 254. Some great articles on non-weapon profiencies, pit traps, and giants.

    Such great #DnD inspiration in these magazines. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG.

  16. #dragonmagazine adverts were something else. Look at this armoured mountain lion riding guy just rocking out on a mountaintop. Stats on a postcard pls

  17. @shawntomkin posted the origin story of one my favorite games, his #TTRPG #Ironsworn. Check it out:

    PS, That #DanielHorne #DragonMagazine cover painting is my absolute favorite piece of fantasy art. I'd loved it since I was a kid.

    My biweekly lunchtime game of Ironsworn with my colleagues resumes next week and I can't wait.

  18. It's #DragonMagMonday

    And over on how-i-run-it.com I did a deep dive on Dragon Magazine #109 from May 1986, that had a huge influence on a 15-year version of me's D&D playing (and gaming in general).
