Dragon Magazine time. I love how evocative these covers could be. I can come up with dozens of story ideas just from looking at the covers
Just posting some favorites. Sorry for any that are low-res

>>97558579Purely an anecdote, sorry about that
>>97557787why the fuck is this dude grabbing the axe from up there?
>>97558930More accurate and more force transferred to the rope he wants to cut.
>>97558930Fantasy artists rarely give much thought to how shit actually works.>>97559141And here's someone who knows even less about it.
>>97557774Never read an issue but thanks to /tg/ i know the covers.

>>97559913I am still astomished thatthey have so many good cover artists. Did they make so much cash? Was it re-ised covers from their sold books? Or just fans and artists using it as a show-off plattform?

I remember reading the libary's issues of Dragon and Dungeon. Even the ads were cool.
>>97558579>backseat janny
>>97557778Ah, 81. This was the spell components and poison issue, I believe- though I best remember it for being the issue I always think has the Ice Age article, only to remember it was like 20 issues earlier. Damn that Really Fucking Nice cover art, always among my faves.
>>97557774Imagine getting a bundle of adventure ideas and character options in the mail every single month.I should have been born an unc. Just watching 80's/90's movies or seeing early digital photos of 2000's era parties fills me with despair and longing because we had so much and it was just taken from anyone born after the millennium.

>>97560252As someone who was to those parties I can tell you that you have severe "grass is always greener on the other side" syndrome.

>>97557774I love these artsy covers. Old-school fantasy art the best. >>97560876Have to disagree with you, fellow old-timer. I also went to these LAN parties and they were fun as shit. You don't see much of that anymore, although maybe it's just me cause I got old. Everything's online but fragmented, disjointed and less cooperative.
>>97562892>I also went to these LAN partiesHe only said "parties", no LAN in there. So you know, get drunk, hit on girls, all that stuff. Well, hopefully you know.

which one of these had a red dragon leading a druid circle?
>>97560876nah m8, parties were greatI just can't say why in order to avoid incriminating myself.
>>97557774Dragon Magazine was alright. I love some of the Monster Ecologies series, particularly the one that is still how Yuan-ti work in my setting.But, for me, my money was always on Dungeon. Song of the Fens remains my favorite adventure, hands down. It's the perfect intro adventure, but I've ranted about how good it is on /tg/ enough times that I'll spare you. There are so many wonderful adventures in there that taught me how to GM.
>>97560252You've been sold a vision of a golden age by the exact same people you're blaming of "taking" something from you. It's all just marketing, anon. The 80s and 90s weren't very long ago and the America my nieces and nephews are growing up in is the same one I lived in, except just a tiny bit better.
>>97565364>Song of the Fens remains my favorite adventureCare to post the PDF of it then? You can upload to drop sites like catbox.moe and post the link here.
>>97565387>80s weren't very long ago>the gap between now and then is the same gap between then and 1940Don't lie to the poor lad.
>>97560252it was all the same except that we documented way less and you can only see selected parts. Computers not being related to every second of your life was better tho.
