Accordingly, we are happy to announce that Foster Provost, of Duquesne University, has agreed to take over the editorship with the first issue of Volume Ten, one year hence. As the compiler (with waldo McNeir) of the standard Spenser bibliography, Professor Provost needs no introduction to this readership; and we are most grateful to him for permitting us a graceful exit next year, with the newsletter in the best of all possible hands.

  • Dragon Magazine
    Welcome to the third printing year for THE DRAGON. I’m still amazed at how far we’ve come every time I look something up in an old STRATEGIC REVIEW. In the past year, we have met and overcome all obstacles in our path save one: the U.S. Post Offal. No matter how we try to get around their incompetence, they still manage to screw up nearly every single issue. When we send out the subs, they all go on the same day, in bags sorted by state. How one person in a given city can get his TD delivered a week before another person in the same city is beyond me. We are even mailing sub copies a week before we ship newsstand copies, and still they hit the racks before most subs have been delivered. Even the Life Subs, sent 1st Class, are not immune to screw-ups. It is not uncommon for a regular subber to get his before a Life Subber does, even with the disparity in handling Second and 1st Class mails. Aaarrgghhh! ! ! ! In the center of this magazine you will find our birthday present to you. Always an innovator, THE DRAGON is glad to reverse the tradi- tional roles. Dave Trampier labored mightily in executing the board, Features and I think it shows. We recommend that you mount the paper on a Dragon Magic — something a little different. 3 stiff backing for longevity. With the incredible rise in the popularity of THE DRAGON’S Birthday Gift to You. ................. ctr. fold backgammon in recent years, we didn’t feel it necessary to include the The Green Magician — the final Harold Shea story.

  • Inspirational Reading List 2008 Edition
    Old School Dungeons & Dragons™ Inspirational Reading List 2008 Edition Edited by Kellri [email protected] http://kellri.blogspot.com While there are bookcases in the upper studio, elsewhere on the second floor, and on the first floor, the main repository of printed lore (other than that piled here and there) is my basement library which includes thousands of reference works, maps, magazines, and works of fiction. - E. Gary Gygax Some guidelines for future contributors: (1) No Forgotten Realms/Dragonlance/etc. tie-ins. This is not a list of licensed gaming fiction. You’ll thank me later. (2) No campaign journals, fan-written fiction or other unpublished/amateur work. See (1). (3) No gaming sourcebooks, modules, rulebooks or magazines (unless they contain reprinted or original fiction). For a list of old school gaming materials, surf to the Acaeum. (4) Include in-line links to the material. In some cases these books are available online for free, if not, they are available from Amazon. Several gaming-related reader’s lists are already available at Amazon, and can be a decent way to find reviews for many of these books. c.f. http://www.amazon.com/D-Inspirational-Educational-Reading-Appendix/lm/2K4BPQB553DZ1 (5) A descriptive blurb would be great, or optionally a short list of keywords or tags for the DM looking for specific inspiration. Examples might include ELVES, DUNGEON, DRAGON, THIEVES, OGRES, etc. (6) In the case of series or trilogies, please include the titles of the individual books if possible. (7) Several of the authors listed below may need an updated or expanded listing.
