Dagobert's page

Hi all,

I don't know if this is legal or not, or if it will be frowned upon--or worse--by the Dungeon editors and the author of the article, but I will state my request and brace myself for a good flaming. I am certainly interested to hear from Dungeon about what the rules are on this sort of thing.

My dilemma is this: I'm running a game tonight and it just occurred to me that the PCs are likely to get to the library in this session. I need some ideas for books that they might find. There is an article in a recent issue of Dungeon that gave us titles and descriptions of books in a library.

Just what I need! However, the game starts right after work, and I have no chance to go home to get the issue.

Would someone please send me a scan of that article?

I'm pretty sure it was in the Campaign Workbook section, but I don't remember the issue number. It was within the last 6 months or so.

Again, if I'm completely out of line, just let me know. I'll ammend my ways and come up with my own ideas for books in a library.

Game in 7 hours!

Corrections to my post: after further reading, i.e. turning the page, I realize it wasn't the last letter of Prison Mail. The letter is captioned, "Dungeon Life List". And I should be addressing myself to the new Dungeon editor, James Jacobs.

Erik,

In your response to the last letter of this month's Prison Mail (Dungeon #138), you ask what we think about a printed index of Dungeon adventures.

I am completely against it! Not only would it take up space in the magazine, it would be out of date the next month!

What I would like is an online index that is updated each month. Just the basic information for each adventure would be enough: Adventure title, Author, Artist, Cartographer, Setting, Level, Terrain type, and teaser text.

The user would have to be able to sort by fields at least. A searchable database would be better.

For an encore, we desparately need a similar index for Dragon. Of course, that would be an even bigger challenge.

Here's to 20 more years!

Hello all,

I just failed another Memory check. I remember reading about a spellcaster that uses tattoos to cast spells, but I can't remember where it was.

I know it was in an official WotC product and it may have been in Dragon--maybe under character-building options for sorcerers.

The accompanying artwork was a naked and tattooed guy, strategically posed, and admiring his body art.

Does that ring any bells for anyone?

Thanks for your help.

First, Dungeon editors, I've noticed that the Map of Mystery is usually not attributed to the artist. Or is that the signature of Chris West in the compass rose?

Second, if you haven't done so already, Dungeon readers, flip to the back of Dungeon #136 and check out "The Forsaken Rift". I look forward to the Map of Mystery every month, but this month: Wow!

The thing about a Map of Mystery is that it inspires the DM's imagination for an encounter or maybe for a whole adventure. "The Forsaken Rift" inspires an entire campaign!

Let's see a Backdrop article to accompany this great map... and why not an adventure to go with it!

Hi all,

A couple years ago (maybe even 3 of them), there was an article in Dungeon (at the time it could have been Dragon) about a Japanese style campaign setting. I think the island was called "Eo" or at least it started with those letters.

Does anyone remember the name of the island and which issue (of which magazine) that was in?

Thanks in advance for your time and brilliant memory!

There's an article in Dragon 326 on adding a half-elemental template one level at a time.

Has there been a similar article already in Dragon (or in any other book) for half-celestials?

I've done some Google searches for it but I didn't find anything.
