Old Dragon Magazine Articles

revshafer · 04-08-2019, 03:43 AM

Found some interesting stuff using internet search magic:
41-had four Melee variant articles
32-had a page of new spells
33-had a short review of Wizard

Not much else there.
Anyone know if there were any articles in White Dwarf or Challenge magazine?

I don't recall ever seeing anything in White Dwarf and I had issues from mid teens up to '70s when it got all Warhammered.

If you enjoy magazine articles, then you need the Companion book.

I was reading through it and thought, “I wonder what I can find in that Dragon Magazine archive?” The Companion is wonderful!

The companion is great; I also own all 8 editions of Interplay, which has a lot of stuff, and dragon #41. The old zine materials are highly variable in quality (that's the polite version...), but you can mine it for a few gems.

Yes, the Interplay #1 article was an intentional plagarism. There are enough changes in wording to make it clear that the author was trying to stay within the letter of the law, but the details and even some of the phrases are such close matches with the Dragon article that it is obvious what was going on.

Great! We may have enough content for a second volume in the future.
