Fighting Schools In Dragon Magazine


Gamer Life General Discussion

Grand Lodge

There was an old issue of Dragon Magazine during the 2nd edition era that contained an article on various fighting styles and the schools associated with them.

I am familiar with the article in issue #232 ("En Garde: Secret weapon passes for the Savage Coast online campaign"), but that is not the article I am looking for.

In the article that I am looking for, one of the fighting schools is called "The Edge"; unfortunately, other than the name of that one school, I do not recall anything else about the article.

Does anyone here know of the article and what issue of Dragon Magazine it can be found in?

I thank you in advance. :-)

Liberty's Edge

It doesn't ring a bell, maybe the DragonDex could help?

Grand Lodge

Yeah, that was the first place I checked, to no avail. :-(

Thank you though...

I found what I was looking for! And it wasn't in Dragon Magazine after all.

It was an RTF file I downloaded and printed out 18 odd years ago from TSR Online (back when TSR's major online presence was accessed through AOL).

So now, not only do I feel a tad silly for remembering it as an article in Dragon Magazine, I feel quite old...


Awww.

Any good? All you remember and more?

Yeah, it is pretty much as I remembered. As for the quality, it was one of the better "user" files uploaded to TSR Online back in the day; wish it had the author's name on it somewhere so I could give credit where credit was due... Oh well.

But man, going through 18 year old (and in some cases, much older) campaign notes and print-outs sure brought back a lot of memories.

I found some notebooks from my 2e campaign 20 years ago recently. Man, we had some good times.

Oh yeah, same here! LOL... I even pulled several more of those old notes (in addition to that one on fighting styles) in order to make use of them once again as well in my current 2e campaign.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

My friend gifted me some 2nd ed books recently. I held back the tears of happiness.

Yeah, it's a different group (for the most part) that played in the 2e games so I can recycle them.

I had to have some emergency cash a few months ago and sold a bunch of 2e stuff (I kept the core stuff). I hated hated hated to part with it, but times were tough.

Well, I hope you at least got a decent price out of them, and that the financial woes that forced you to sell them in the first place are well behind you now :-)


Thanks. I did get a pretty good price out of them. It kept the wolves out of the door that month, at least... LOL


Still got the near total 1st edition of Ad&D...
and some of 2e edition too.
