    May 1980 The Dragon feature a module, a special inclusion, or some other out-of-the- ordinary ingredient. It’s still a bargain when you stop to think that a regular commercial module, purchased separately, would cost even more than that—and for your three bucks, you’re getting a whole lot of magazine besides. It should be pointed out that subscribers can still get a year’s worth of TD for only $2 per issue. Hint, hint . And now, on to the good news.

That’s the catch-phrase for first look at Jasmine, Darlene’s fantasy adventure strip, which issue #37 of The Dragon. In addition to going up in makes its debut in this issue. The story she’s unfolding promises to quality and content with still more new features this be a good one; stay tuned. month, TD has gone up in another way: the price. As observant subscribers, or those of you who bought Holding down the middle of the magazine is The Pit of The this issue in a store, will have already noticed, we’re now asking $3 Oracle, an AD&D game module created by Stephen Sullivan. It for TD. From now on, the magazine will cost that much whenever we was the second-place winner in the first International Dungeon Design Competition, and after looking it over and playing through it, we think you’ll understand why it placed so high.

However, there are necessary shortcuts and parcels of information included in a carefully done game, or else the poor GM will be forever immersed in the morass of finding out the precise nature of who his players meet, who opposes them, and the like. It should not be necessary for the GM to roll dice to determine all the attribute scores of every non-player character, for instance. The game must include provisions for defining NPCs so that they can be generated quickly, but without causing every such character to be a mirror image of every other one. Although it is a relatively short and minor part of any game, this area is still interesting, for it will show just how well thought out the design is. Opponents are the creatures and things that will generally be adverse, at best non- hostile, to the PCs.

  • Gary's Clarifications
    Gary’s Clarifications When I saw the Zagyg’s Wisdom super-thread on Dragonsfoot, I thought what a great idea it was to have a section where Gary answered questions about D&D and offered clarifications and interpretations about the game he created. And if he isn’t around to answer more questions, at least we can benefit from what people asked him when they had the chance. Reading through the thread, it occurred to me that all these clarifications could be gathered up into a single document for easier reference, sorted by category. Steve at Dragonsfoot liked the idea, so I got started…and found that sorting them wasn’t as neat and easy as I’d expected. I’ve had to make a lot of judgement calls: for instance, should a question about true neutral clerics go under Classes or Alignment? So I apologize if the organization of this document seems a little haphazard, but I’ve done what I could with it. There are a very few posts from one category that I copied into another, but for the most part I tried to make a single choice and hope it was the right one. I’ve included some categories that aren’t exactly D&D or that wouldn’t be relevant to every campaign (Greyhawk, for example), but they’re in their own sections so they can be ignored by those not interested. These “related” sections are generally unsorted, as they didn't lend themselves as well to discrete categories. In the interest of keeping it short, I generally removed people’s greeting remarks (“Hi Gary,” etc.), though I left in whatever Gary said in case it should be helpful in assessing his “gut feel” reaction to the question.

  • GREYHAWK Adventures Wouldn't Be Complete Without Some Mention of the Magical Items Unique to Oerth
    Official James M. Ward Sample file A compendium of GREYHAWK® campaign ideas for the AD&D® role playing system. TSR, Inc. P.O. Box 756 TSR CIK Ltd. Lake Geneva, The Mill, Rathmore Road WI 53147 U.S.A. Cambridge CB1 4AD United Kingdom ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, AD&D, GREYHAWK, WORLD OF GREYHAWK, PRODUCTS OF YOUR IMAGINATION, and the TSR logo are trademarks owned by TSR, Inc. Det)icatioN I would like to dedicate this work to those uncounted numbers of people who have liked my material and were kind enough to tell me so. Thank you, very much. JMW Introduction Warning: This book is designed for experienced campaigners! I preface my introduction with the above statement because I want you to realize that this isn't a role-playing aid for newcomers. When the AD&D® game was first published, the GRE YHAWK® campaign system had been up and running for several years. Since then, I hope I have helped, in my own small way, to make that campaign and the AD&D game system grow a little larger and run a little better. Now, others have taken up the gauntlet and quite probably hundreds of thousands of player characters have walked down the dirt roads of the City of Greyhawk and roamed the lands of Oerth. This book was created out of the demand by those GREYHAWK game lovers for more information. The oldest, running fantasy campaign has a very vocal following. Each section of this book came out of a direct request for more information about a particular aspect of Oerth and Greyhawk.
