Dragon Magazine Archive

[Kyle]

Wow. I mean. I'm tearing up a bit.

All the classic Dragon Magazines are archived online.

For example, when I was adding to my list of games I've played in my lifetime, I wanted to see if I could find the D&D monster football game: Monsters of the Midway. It was in Dragon #65. You can download it here:

Or File 13 in issue 72:

I'm. I'm speechless. This is amazing.

[Mike]

I'm stunned. Monsters of the Midway just hit me with so much nostalgia that I don't know how to process this. That's amazing.

I remember purchasing this collection on CD. This link saves me the trouble of finding those CDs in the attic.

[Tahlvin]

Yes, I still have that CD around here somewhere in my RPG library, as well. Not yours, DMDarcs. I mean, I have my own copy of that same CD around here somewhere.

Oh yay! Sometime in the future, there's an adventure I want to run that's set in a carnival, I read it like a billion times in Dragon Magazine. It would be great as a one shot, because it involves high level characters. If I can find it, I'll adapt it to Pathfinder. IT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN!

[Eliahad]

I was thinking of Dungeon... And the Jingling Mordo Circus. Thanks, Kyle!

[Mike]

YES!



Kyle, this was THE goblin adventure we ran in Japan when your 6th level team almost got your asses totally handed to you by a pack of goblins (in the days when goblins couldn't have levels).

So happy.

[FlameBlade]

Oooh, hot day in l'trel. Dungeon 44.

[Eliahad]

That one also has Train of Events, which Pat ran with a bunch of people, but since I could only be there for one session, I was dropped in. I played Nodwick, a fighter with a single feat. "Schlep" which meant if someone asked me to carry something, I could, regardless of encumbrance. I ended up carrying a very large iron stove from a steam train....

[Kyle]

This makes me so happy.

[DMDarcs]

Did you see the same site also hosts old issues of Nintendo Power? NINTENDO POWER!

[Mike]

Combine the archive with a and I'm set.

I will be swiping sooooo many things from here.

[Mike]

The links indicate that they used to have a full index of Paizo era Dungeons as well, but it's no longer there. Paizo published their own index of their issues in Dungeon #150. Apparently.

I'm mostly going to raid these issues for maps and ideas and names. But there may be a few classic adventures I want to try to adapt to Pathfinder wholesale if I can.

[Cazmonster]

Oh, this will be quite the rabbit warren to explore. No, not just one rabbit hole, not this.
