Could anyone tell me in which issue(s) of Dragon the Greyhawk regional feats are? I'm looking through my back issues and can't find them. Another Question: has anyone updated/adapted WG4--Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun for 3.5? I am using it in to the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil as a side adventure between the moathouse and the Temple itself. Any help on this is appreciated. Thank You.

My wife had something interesting to say about D&D art in general. After looking at my stack of Dragon Mags and through a few of the books, she noted: "Wow, nobody is happy in this game, are they?" After pointing out her grammatical incorrectness, I took a look through the Magazines. She's right! Noboby is happy on the covers of Dragon, everybody is angry. Not since 3e, anyway. Maybe this is one problem?

Hoody Frickin' Hoo!!! After years of waiting, after decades of anticipation, The Mighty Flumph has returned to Dungeons and Dragons. Thank you thank you thank you, for updating this most underappreciated of creatures!! Tim Hitchcock. You. Are. The. Man.
Named for a certain Aardvark Pope. Also my name on the Wizards Boards. Although someday I will use "Waffle Donkey" as a nick. That would rule.
I would just like to note that last night I swear I heard the phrase "waffle donkey" in a Jack-in-the-Box commercial on TV. I got my Waffle Donkey Jack-in-the-box on ebay for much cheaper than I would have thought!
All I know is, I just recently bought a subscription to Dungeon, because of (and only because of) Wil Save. I used to pick up the occasional issue, but now I want to read all of these columns. ASEO, that was a good article as well. I guess it isn't about WW, but about having something different in DUNGEON.
Beer colored. Or Waffle colored...? Baffle?!?!
What it boiled down to was that Dragon has, at most, twelve chances to publish a short story each year. Established authors increase the sales of an issue because some consumers recognize their names and purchase the magazine based on that recognition. So accepting unsolicited fiction submissions meant that submitters faced... Well, I understand your point. I just disagree with it. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I would like to quibble with the reasoning behind keeping fiction to only "established" writers. One of the things that was great about the fiction back in the day (first issue bought: #61) was its raw, new quality. It was also a good place for a new writer to get his feet wet in the business. While I do understand that Dragon is not a fiction magazine, I think for that very reason that the fiction that is included should be open to new, untested writers who write interesting stories. The fiction that has been in the magazine recently has not been all that great, IMO. The story set in the Holy Land, though a fine story in and of itself, just didn't resonate with me as a gamer at all. If you're going to put a short-story in a magazine about Dungeons and Dragons, shouldn't there be some overt elements of Dungeons and Dragons included? I would say that I could do better, and maybe I could/maybe I couldn't, but I'll never know, because you won't even accept my submissions. I think you're missing out on discovering the next Hickman/Weis/Salvatore by not taking unsolicited material. I hope that I don't come across as angry, because I'm not. It is your magazine and you'll do things the way you want. I respect that. It's just, as they say, my two cents.
Word, Mike. You the shiznizzle! It's like a waffle, I think. With Shizni Berries on top.
Samurai Knight vs. Waffle Donkey! Waffle Donkey! With amazing Syrup powers and his sidekick Millie the ninja waitress! No Contest!!!! Pancake Bunny vs. Parfait Ninja! Parfait Ninja slips on Pancake Bunny causing both to fall unconscious. No Contest!!! Baboon Pirate vs. PostMonster General! PostMonster General hoists Baboon Pirate by his own Petard. HOO HA!
Donkey-Waffles?!?! They taste like Ass...
mmmmmm... waffles.....
Personally, I think "Waffles" sounds a lot more fun than "Pancakes." And though "bunny" is pretty cool, it cannot stand up to the word "Millie" or "syrup." |
