Behold, the first #dnd character i ever played. #adnd1e circa 1982/3, i was maybe seven years old.

The handwriting is mostly from my long departed dad, who taught us the path.

I think this guy died going down to the second level of #quasqueton

Sometimes I think that thanks to the inherent debt spiral #Traveller is better at diegetic explanation for adventuring than any of #DnD systems. I mean it basically forces you to adventure by how spaceships and debts are set and how it sets up all the things like jumps, worlds, where to buy stuff, how to make money, patrons and pirates.

I think if you worked on feudalism as Coins and Scrolls does it you'd have diegetic adventuring more like Traveller than DnD.

I'm not a big fan of D&D 4E, so when friends were running it, to stay entertained I tried to devise the most outside the box characters I could using the rules as written.

One was a dragonborn from a stone age theocratic society. Don't remember if a paladin, rogue, or ranger. But he was intended as part of their stealthy, elite, behind the scenes law enforcement. Wielded stone throwing stars he hand-chipped, although at the time I thought I was being kind of silly with the idea.

OK, that's enough news this morning. Everyone, post some of your favorite Dragon Magazine covers. Here's mine, from Issue 126 by Daniel Horne. I didn't actually encounter this piece in Dragon Magazine; I saw it repeatedly used by TSR in other promotional materials and fell in love with it.

#Fantasy#FantasyArt#Magazine#Dragon#DND#TTRPG

A giant, armor-clad skeleton bursts out from the snow. It wields a massive axe in one hand and arrows and broken sword blades stick out of it's undead remains. It looms over a surprised woman with long, brown hair wearing leathers and fur-trimmed winter clothes. She's knocking an arrow in her longbow in reaction to the undead monstrosity. She's in trouble, as her quiver is empty. A snow covered forest and mountains are in the background. The Dragon masthead is yellow and the rest of the text on the magazine cover is a darker grey that stands out against a yellowish-light gray background.
