Encyclopedia > Dragon Magazine

Dragon, first issue 1976, is one of the two official magazines for source material for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


Each issue has a number of articles about Prestige Classes, races, Monsters and many other subjects that can be used to enhance a Dungeons & Dragons game. It also sometimes discusses meta-gaming issues, such as getting along with fellow players.


A regular feature of Dragon has been its "Ecology of ..." articles, in which a D&D monster gets a tongue-in-cheek scientific treatment, explaining how they find food, reproduce, and so forth.


Many of the gaming world's best writers, game designers and artists have published work in the magazine.


In 2002, Paizo Publishing (http://www.paizo.com/) acquired the rights to publish Dragon under license from Wizards of the Coast.


Dungeon is a sister magazine which publishes pre-written playtested adventures to be used in a D&D game.

The Dragon Magazine (1422 words)
This adventure is printed on glossy paper stock and is still inside the magazine, attached in the center, in its original condition.
The rest of the magazine contains a very long article on incorporating the Witch NPC class into your campaign, a long test about rating yourself as a DM, the introduction of three new monsters--the Amazon, the Tolwar, and the Lythlyx--to the ADandD bestiary, and a Squad Leader scenario ("The Fall of Sevastopol").
Bound in the magazine are counters, map and cards as well as the rules.
The Sega Saturn Magazine \\ Games \ Dragon Force (686 words)
That was until the evil lord known as Madruk unleashed his fury unto the continent, tearing the land between 8 generals all of which are trying to take it all for their people.
Dragon Force is a cross between an RPG and a turn-based strategy title.
And despite the simplistic graphics, Dragon Force presents some amazing visuals with up to 100 enemies on the screen at the same time going at it with a camera that can zoom in and out to see the huge battle in all its glory.
