Internet Archive scanning and posting Dragon Magazine?


Dragon Magazine General Discussion

Sovereign Court

Not entirely sure what is up with this, but it looks like the Internet Archive has been scanning and posting up Dragon magazines, for months now.

Has anyone heard anything official from WoTC about this? Or is this just someone uploading without permission?

This might be a dumb question, but what's the Internet Archive?

What does that even mean?


The Internet Archive (archive.org) is an awesome repository of awesomeness.

They archive old websites, in addition to hosting lots of content that has no other home.

In the case of the Dragon, Dungeon and Polyhedron magazines, however, it seems that they did not have license to host them, and they've since been removed.


I'm looking for the Polyhedron Magazine (Newszine) - Introductory Issue(A) in PDF format; I'm hoping someone can help me!?

If so email me at the_skycutter(at)yahoo(dot)com

On a related note, has anyone made, or does anyone have a PDF checklist of all Dragon Magazine issues (or Dungeon Magazine, or both)? I need to go through my collection and see what I have, I was thinking I should make a list. Then I thought, somebody probably has made a checklist that I could download and check off boxes for the issues I own. Did a quick search and found nothing, so I figured I'd ask here at the messageboards. I'm new to the messageboards, so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong spot on the boards. (How does one start a new thread? Couldn't figure it out...)


What exactly are you looking for?

There were 359 issues of Dragon, 150 issues of Dungeon.

Dragon published annuals from 1996 to 2001, a total of 6 of those.

They also published 5 "Best of Dragon" issues early on.

If what's going on shows up on WOTC's radar, Internet Archives can expect a CAD and takedown notice coming from their lawyers in short order.


See my post above from April 2013 - they pulled these long ago.
