Request for an old adventure

[GMaia]

Hello, new member here!

I tried to find a way to get in touch with someone in Paizo with no success searching for a contact us page on the website.

My request is simple: I am an indie writer and I scheduled to write later in the second half of 2026 an adventure which is based on an old Dungeon Magazine adventure. The adventure is "The Matchmakers" (from Dungeon #7).

Since Paizo holds the rights of Dungeon (and Dragon) magazines afaik, I would simply look for a feedback whether or not it is necessary to have a permission: I do not plan to re-write the adventure for another system, I have in mind an adventure with a plot which is inspired on that module.

Thanks for pointing me out an email address where I may send this request.

Thanks a lot and ciaooo

Hi there! Alas, while Paizo did work on the D&D magazines for many years, that was 100% a licensed from Wizards of the Coast situation. We do not hold the rights to any of the contents of Dungeon Magazine.

EDITED to make the reply more concise in providing an answer.

I would like to point out that was a very early issue, which was published decades before Paizo was contracted out to do Wizards of the Coast magazines. Actually pre WotC ownership by many years.

Outside of piracy, which I do not condone, finding a used physical back issue might be you best bet, though it likely will be pricey as it is a collector's item.

True, but WotC gained all of that when they bought TSR, so as of today all of that content is still owned by them.

In any event, for other folks here, please don't encourage piracy or suggest locations one can illegally download copies of anything on these forums.

Thanks a lot! Then I will address the question to someone at WOTC...
