I believe that was it. Huh, and the cover has laser rifles...

To avoid cluttering Roleplaying in General with my threads, I'll append another request here:

Is there an index for the Dragon and Dungeon magazines for Forgotten Realms articles and adventures?

I remember reading, for instance, how the designer came up with the various gods (including, IIRC, having Aslan before switching to Nobanion as the lord of talking beasts).

But when I look on the Forgotten Realms Wikia, it lists ALL magazines (whereas the individual pages list the articles/adventures that are relevant to Forgotten Realms; but that's something like 500 different issues to go through).

RPG Geek has one, but I don't know how thorough it is.

There's another that has aliens at least, from about '85, that also deals with time travel, Where Chaos Reigns.

E.R. Burroughs has his radium rifles, and "Red Nails" has what we would call a laser wand even though REH died before lasers had been invented. Separating genres is hard and is often not what audiences/players really want (especially not when the average gamer is a teenager and when the most influential SF writers, editors, and directors are not so scientific).

But is the average gamer really a teenager? I know that at the various Adventurer's League games, the median and mode are both undergraduate college students; my table is the one with the most under-20's.
