Given that apparently essential information simply does not exist, it is unlikely that anyone ever will.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-50519116166175552872018-06-04T02:31:07.137-05:002018-06-04T02:31:07.137-05:00I remember that ad about the $10,000.

Now, I had been gaming since 1981, but this was the first Dragon I ever bought. Alan's Comics in Longview, TX, had just opened and it was my first opportunity (Neither Waldenbooks nor Kroger's nor Circus World carried Dragon amongst their gaming offerings.)<br /><br />I found the troop tables wonderful, probably because I mostly played fighters back in the day. But having various troops available based on terrain and, in a couple of instances, on race was wonderful. My fighter a the time, Demetrios Ironfist, had just reached name level and was clearing land and building a stronghold and made great use of these tables.Anthony N.

The mercenary troops tables and rules were and are useful, unlike just about anything in issue 100 (I mean, I liked the Sabratact article in theory, and Dragonchess is a fun variant, but come on), the article dissecting why a game failed is interesting and helpful, and anything for Top Secret is aces in my book.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.com
