Online material presented in subscription format at the Wizards of the Coast website will continue to use the "Dragon magazine" title. In 2007, after 359 monthly issues and 6 special annual issues, the print version of Dragon was discontinued. In 2002, Paizo Publishing took over publication of Dragon under license from Wizards of the Coast. The magazine (originally known as The Dragon) was the successor to The Strategic Review, a gaming newsletter started by D&D co-creator Gary Gygax, which published seven issues before the advent of The Dragon. Dragon was launched in 1976 by TSR, Inc., the publishers of the Dungeons & Dragons game.

This index will be left as a permanent archive. There are no plans to include here any of the material being released under the "Dragon" name on the Wizards of the Coast website. This index will therefore no longer be updated subsequent to that issue. The paper version of Dragon magazine ended its 31-year run with issue #359, cover dated September 2007. This would never fly in today's gamer culture with all our books, dice towers, tablets, cell phones and not to forget, snack and beverages! Also, hey scoot down guys.The DragonDex - A complete index to Dragon Magazine So, what they show here is five people (2 girls too, ahead of their time) playing around the tiniest round table ever. What I enjoy is the photo ads of the 80's. I love these games, I still own both boxed sets today. The adventure is indeed mine! This first ad is a full page ad for Basic and Expert D&D (of course TSR will splurge in their own magazine).

Okay fellow gamers, let's go back in time and riff through a randomly chosen issue, Dragon Magazine #70 from 1983: Boring! Some of these old school ads though were quite humorous in today's light. My last post got me thinking more about old Dragon ads and how as a youth I enjoyed looking at those almost as much as the articles or comics. Hail Greyhawkers! It's a lazy day off so I'm gonna have fun.
