Description
Dragon Magazine #72 Published April 1983 by TSR Dragon Magazine was the premier magazine for role-playing games in the 80s when the whole RPG craze was just getting started. It ceased print publication in 2007 but lives on in a digital format. I always looked forward to getting Dragon Magazine in the mail or at my local hobby shop. It was always packed full of fun stuff to expand your Dungeons & Dragons game. Sometimes it even had information on other TSR games & occasional articles on other company's games. It also had short stories, comics, & reviews. in the early days, some of the luminaires of the game, like Gary Gygax, would contribute an article or two. A good time was always had by all! I love looking at the old advertisements for all of the various games that have come & gone, while Dungeons & Dragons keeps changing & evolving. I'm also fascinated by reading the letters to the editor's section (Out on a Limb in the 80s) to see what was everyone's gripes & complaints were back in the day. Fun stuff!
