Dragon Magazine: Going Through Its History

By Nate Carpenter


You should know that the Dragon magazine is one of the two formalized source materials needed for Dungeons and Dragons which happen to be a role playing game. It was set in motion in the year 1976 in order to stand out the company's earlier issues as it runs. There are thousands of these publications and the final mark was counted 359 in Sept 2007. After the last shipping the publications intellectual property was re-launched online to keep on the talk of the said journal to continue its history.

Dragon magazine provided the coverage of role playing games in general. It became the house for the game and with particular focus on D&D. It gives a supplementary material that includes new stature of races, classes, monsters and other objects that can be used to enhance the gaming experience. Articles were made to give players tips and suggestions and sometimes discuss meta-gaming issues (how to get along with other troupes). At the end of its print run, it features the other four comics one can buy.

As time keeps going and going, the freebies soon became impulsive as each new subjects or publications been issued. In the past, there are times that it became the best item possible. There are those who didn't reach the time where electronic games where made, people purchase this in order to consume their time when they are not doing anything. Today, it has become a piece of paper or cardboard but it has done its share within the hearts and minds of the old players. When the time comes, maybe your grandmother or grandfather can tell you more about it.

There are a lot of the worlds noted writers, artists and game graphics designers brought out their work in the Dragon magazine in the past years. They usually tell it through a story, fantasy fiction or novel. Soon enough, it became relatively rare which you can't see or buy them now. It found an in-depth review that explicates how it found food, multiplied etcetera. Most of the issues that you might have read come with a role-playing game feel.

It has plenty of issues that one can read or play with. If you are one of those persons who like to collect old books or games from the past, then this might be a good addition to your collection. You may want to put this into consideration. All in all it is a good magazine that a lot of old players love in the past.
