I went to write up a description but for some reason no one really talks about this magazine.  It was the original TSR newsletter, published a total of 7 issues starting in 1975 but was then canceled and developed into The Dragon (aka Dragon and Dragon Magazine) and Little Wars.

Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, has passed away. He and Dave Arneson developed the game in 1974. He is survived by his wife and six children. His death was the result of long-declining health conditions. He will be missed.

Discovered from here.

To go along with my two previous posts about Downloading Dragon Magazine and Downloading Dragon Magazine - Part #2, here's a list of Dungeon Magazine to download.  These aren't mine and I didn't gather them.  I just found them.

The list is missing some issues. I'll come back and post them later on when I find them.

Breakfast was cool.  Had eggs, bacon, and biscuits.  I think I was the only non-church person there so i had to introduce myself a number of times but I didn't mind.  I walk by the church twice every day when I head over to UNCC.  Didn't get any pictures as my batteries died with the other breakfast this morning under the bridge.

I finally got a chance to look over the most read posts for January.  I probably should do some sort of Top Post widget in the sidebar. (edit: Done now.)

- Download Dragon Magazine and it's Part #2 article.
- Mac Desktop Wallpapers
- 50 Things NOT to do at Hogwarts (And I feel bad about that as it's not even mine.)
- Robot Chicken: Charlie Brown And The Great Pumpkin
- Download Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? (You can but not with those links.)
- Family Guy Videos - Rock Lobster
- Movable Type 4.1 gets released (*shrug* All I said was that it was released.)
- Crash on Volturnus - Chapter 1 (I really should go back and work on that. I liked writing that stuff.)
- Pairings (Another old Daria fanfiction piece that I had written way back when.)
- How to stop the irritating "Updating your computer is almost complete - Restart Now?" message

Continuing on with the list of Dragon Magazines that you can download as *.pdfs not legally though of course, here's part two of that list. Please remember that none of these are mine. I've just found the links elsewhere on line.

OK, this one has been around for quite some time. I've been reading Order of the Stick and I've been enjoying it. The comic is drawn and authored in a deliberate stick figure style by Rich Burlew. It's based on fantasy RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons as well as today's D20 system. The comic goes back to 2003 so you;ve got a bit of reading to get up to date.

And I've already gone ahead and added to the links page. You can look at the other webcomics that I read there.

Another new webcomic added to the link list.  We have added in Norwick.  It's Dungeons and Dragons based, having appeared for eons in the old Dragon Magazine that's now currently changing formats.  New comics appear to hit once a week.  Not sure of the day and I'm too tired to go digging around the website. (Plus the designer appears to like opening link in new windows.  I hate it when sites are designed like that.)

The comic is about a simple henchman who travels with three characters but runs into all sorts of trouble, normally because of the actions of the characters. 

There's a healthy backlist of comics so it'll take you a while to read through them all.  Not many that connect together in an arc so you can poke around in there.  Give it a read today. :)

Gotta admit that I'm not big on warez but considering all of these are out of print, very few of them are available as *.pdf download, and this is really the only way to get them, here's the first 240 Dragon Magazines available for download from rapidshare.com and megaupload.

edit: Part #2 of this list is over here.
