I'm looking for a short story that was in a Dragon mag in either 1986 or 87.

The story is about a girl who plays a video game "online" (this is before the internet was around) and hunts for a treasure that wins her a prize in the real world.

any thoughts??

thanks

Issue #97, May 1985. Article was called Catacomb by Henry Melton. This is my favorite short story in Dragon.

my only concern would be having to fork over fourty bucks every month for some new book i need to run the setting. i hardly ever buy the books simply because i can never afford them. let me know what you think.

Try ebay.

I passed the RPGA Herold level test so that I could get RPGA Credit for Dungeon Adventures. But haven't recieved anything in the mail from the RPGA. When I do DM a Dungeon adventure, will I be sent the RPGA certs and the like for that adventure to give to my players?

ASEO out

you need to contact rpgahq@wizards.com to request RPGA membership cards to give to the players if they do not already have a RPGA membership.

I have the same issue with the RPGA. I have sent them several emails regarding the unavailability of active senarios from #117 and the lack of senarios from #119. They, however, have not responsed. Dealing with the RPGA and their email only policy is like talking into a black hole.

The senarios from #119 are now available, but now I have to ask where are the #120 senarios?

Patrick Jacobs

What I want to know is when is Issue #119 of Dungeon going to be available for RPGA use? They currently only go up to Issue #118.

Can anyone tell me how to report the adventures in dungeon to the RPGA? All the adventures have a code to enter on the RPGA site but the site does not offer any place to enter the codes when reporting your events. Now please think about this before replying. I am greatful to all who try to help but I have been getting a lot of replys to my questions treating me like a jerk LOL. I posted this on the RPGA forum and got a step by step on how to report events telling me that I could only report oficial events not just any old game I played. NEWS FLASH, I know that already thanks LOL I have been a master level DM for over 2 years now thanks LOL

You report Dungeon adventures the same way you report any RPGA adventure.

Personally, I would suggest Eberron. It's new, with only one published sourcebook beyond the original setting. That means you don't need to worry much about what you DON'T have. Also, as a new setting it is currently getting a lot of support from both Dragon and Dungeon. A new setting is new for everyone, so there isn't as much worry that you have a player who is an expert in the setting, and many of the ideas in Eberron are just plain cool for players and DMs.

The down side is that there isn't a lot of published material on it to pull from, so you will need to have a lot of your own ideas....

Don't forget RPGA is getting ready to start up the Mark of Heroes Campaign which is set in the Eberron Campaign Setting.

I was planning on converting these to 3.5E and putting it into Eberron. I was going to put at least G1-2-3 on XEN'DRIK. Would you mind emailing me your conversion notes (save me some time and effort)?

thanks,

This might help. psgj@earthlink.net

I'm running my players through my 3.5E conversion of G1-2-3/D1-2-3/Q1 at the moment.

To Patrick Jacobs and any future askers. I am happy to mail these to you, but if you use a spam blocker to block anything not in your address list, please add me to your list before asking me to send the articles to you, or you may not get them. Mr. Jacobs, let me know if you want a re-send.

No need to resend. I received the email with no problem. Thank you very much. My spam blocker doesn't really block spam. I need to figure out how to turn off the automatic reply message.

thanks,

Vivanas Mangu,

All I need is Dungeon 2, 3 and 6. Anyone? Anyone?

I just started collecting Dungeon and Dragon magazine as well as DnD Miniatures. I currently have all Dragon (1-250 on CD) and all of the Miniatures. I only need Issue 2, 3 and 6 of Dungeon magazine. Ebay is my friend.

Who is to say that the evolutionary/magical influence that caused them to become giant insects didn't also change other aspects of there biology, like giving moths teeth or ants poisonous jaws. DnD is a fantasy setting. d20 Modern is WOTCs real life setting.

I played D&D in the early 80s, stopped playing, and now that my kids are old enough started again so they could experience the fun I had. I liked Wil's column as it hit home with me. Focused on things not related to the rules, but aspects of a DM re-learning the rules, while trying to teach young new players. D&D is about having fun and socializing with friends and this is what I liked about the column. The rules are there to facilitate this goal. One page per magazine is not too much.

My first GEN CON was awesome. On the last day I won the Eberron Campaign Book at WotC booth, but you guys put the Icing on the Cake. I signed up for Dragon and Dungeon Mags (Free t-shirts!) and entered the drawing on Friday. You had to be at the drawings to win. They would draw like 10 cards before someone won. Anyways at Friday's drawing no dice, I didn't win. Every card they picked, I'm thinking, "Please be me." And then be disappointed when my name was not called. Again on Saturday and again I didn't win. Sunday at 3:30 they picked around twenty cards before they had a winner. Each time, "Please pick me", each time disappointment when I didn't hear my name, each time the "winner" was not there, so I get excited again. Finally they call the name of someone that is there and it is me. I took my loot and headed over to AEGs booth. AEG was giving out a free t-shirt to anyone who bought the book. I tolded the guy there that I just won the "World's Largest Dungeon" and he gave me one the the shirts. What a way to end GENCON.
