The SNES and Genesis Shadowrun games were actually completely different games. Who would have expected that? Heh

I just wanted you to know I got your reference. "Lies, lies, lies. Yeah." Thompson Twins single from their third album, so cool.

When this issue came out, I had just finished my second year of college and the local Kinko's had done an Easter promotion that spring with prize eggs hidden on campus. I had found several and had several free color copies and laminations available. I copied the insert in color and had them laminated with a heavy film. (I also copied the Dungeon deck insert and had it laminated in a lighter film) I still have the originals with the magazine as well as my laminated deck(s)....

This was the first Dragon magazine I ever got, so it is my most fondly remembered. The Letters Page! Take a look! "One year ago, in DRAGON issue #137, we published a letter from a reader whose character, Waldorf (a 358th-level magic-user), had destroyed Greyhawk with the nuclear bombs he had invented. Only Castle Waldorf and the salt mines beneath it (in which all the deities labored) were left. We received a lot of mail about that little letter." I think the author of that letter wanted all players of Greyhawk to send him their character sheets so he could work out his XP. Imagine 13-year-old me reading this letters page as my introduction to the wider game of D&D, having only played the Red Box with by siblings. Level 358?! Things you do in your campaign can effect other people's campaigns in the same world? The replies in this issue are quite colourful!

A WH40K channel Poorhammer put out a vid recently about the time travelers came into the now time to steal all of games workshops ideas and go back to use them, don't like posting links but it is pretty funny

Alignments were played out first by the character, as the character developed his alignment would then become set.. In 1E alignments were selected and players played out that alignment..

Spaghetti Westerns

That is the Holmes set

It is a futuristic guy on a foreign planet.. their hands are bigger..

Your analysis of some of these articles is clearly coming from modern times.. they made way more sense in the game, at the time...

Gygax always wrote something worth while

EotPT and Metamorphosis Alpha.. were both great games.. but D&D got so big so fast it drowned the others out..

Second 2 yr old comment.. It was the 70s.. women and men recognized there were differences.. it is not exist it examines the reality of biology..

I know 2 yrs later but.. Dwarves were shied away from because they were deemed small and less capable.. by those who played the games at the time..

The Dragon #1 was the jumping off point for the editor and authors in this format.. Strategic Review was a smaller tighter version leaning heavily on wargaming..

I would comment on Jack, but I heard he was canonically dead

In AD&D, the rate was one xp per gp.

"The Caller" is described in the original Dungeon Masters Guide!

Incorrect!!!! My friends and I argued about whether or not a 10' pole could be used as a weapon. On a whim we found an email address for Gary Gygax, and asked him via email. I wish we still had that missive, as it was awesome. He basically complained that he was very busy working on legendary journeys (sp) but he provided and answer that a 10' pole was indeed weapon grade. The answer was totally in Gary's voice, just as if he were writing in Dragon Magazine itself. I 100% believe it was Gary, and I 100% believe he would answer a dumb rule question anytime he could.

Rob should have an episode titled "I Have A Funny Story About That."

I’m a 60 yo D&D’r and these bring back great memories. Gonna watch every one of these episodes!

never plagiarized Ozzy Osborne, but I did plagiarize Rutger Hauer death scene from blase runner for a fiction piece in high school, got a D+

Yeah I owned it. it was called AD&D Battle System fantasy combat supplement. Came in a box set.

I played that computer game, Temple of Apshai... it was one of the first graphics games ever made, not a text adventure... The art for the advertisement in this Dragon Magazine was featured on the box when you bought the computer game. If I remember correctly, it was on cassettes. Remember cassette drives? This game was basically a stick figure moving through a dungeon depicted with lines to either side depicting "walls". You would hit 1 through 9 for movement speed, hit "A" for attack or something like that... it was all done with keyboard.

I was in love with the girl on this cover forever.

Regarding the Grimtooth's Traps - I distinctly remember one trap that was composed of a large, deep cylindrical pit with a pole in the middle. Attached to the pole are two large chains with pieces of flint attached at the ends. If PC's get thrown or stumbling into this pit, oil begins to seep from the walls and down into the bottom. Then the pole starts to rotate and centrifugal force causes the flint stones to rise and eventually strike against the stone walls, igniting the fuel. Was that a trap in this book?

But what about the Gygaxite Magic Metal Ore that was suposedly to be mentioned in this issue ??

Making a Traveller character is a bit like playing the board game Life. You pick paths, but life takes it turns and trials on you. Sometimes it works out and some times it's a bummer. It's like a little mini game in itself. It would be a bit tough for people that want to play an exact character.

Stating out cartoon characters reminded me of a real RPG based on cartoons called TOON. You had stats like Smarts, Speed, Muscle. They had one stat called Chutzpah. Bugs Bunny had god-like Chutzpah score.

The cover reminds me of Ralph Bakshi's work. Except more cutesy.

Stopped playing for a fair while, came back and there was no thaco, much better without it

the dragon had given him a lift, and he stepping off

If you want to be technical, Pool of Radiance wasn't the first AD&D game... the two IntelliVision games predate it. Pool of Radiance is the first PC AD&D game, though.
