Dragon 58 (February, 1982). Clyde Caldwell is back on the cover. There is a pant! Sort of. Big fan of gnomes riding lizards that are big enough to swallow them whole. And also of Castle Greyskull there in the background. ¶ #RPG #TTRPG #TabletopRPG #roleplayinggame #DnD #Dung…

The Dragon 18 (September, 1978). The cover is by Dean Morrissey. I THINK that is supposed to be a young Gray Mouser? ¶ #RPG #TTRPG #TabletopRPG #roleplayinggame #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #DragonMagazine #DeanMorrissey

Where do I even start with this glorious beast? ¶ So, this is Champions of Mystara: Heroes of the Princess Ark (1993), and it is all Bruce Heard’s fault. Heard basically developed the Known World for a decade, guiding the creation of the beloved Gazetteer series and penning …
