I miss Dragonmirth.
There is a #ShortStory about a poor young(?) unprivileged elf(?) #wizard that is desperate to research a spell involving #TimeTravel. It's a pretty enjoyable read even though the twist at the end would probably be considered cliched by today's standards.
I read it in #DragonMagazine or one of the other #DnD magazines of the 80s or 90s. Does this vague description ring a bell for anyone? Could you tell me the name/author? I'd like to track it down and read it again.
Visiting my hometown to deal with my late parents' estate. The bookstore I used to buy #DnD (and #StarFrontiers) stuff at is a shawarma restaurant now. Among other things, I bought my first copy of #DragonMagazine here!
I only wished I even heard about #DnD back then. By the time I even saw #DragonMagazine in the local #Library, #SatanicPanic had mostly died down (at least in the public).
Vanne retrouvé dans un de mes vieux dragon magazine... Près de 30 ans après, elle me fait toujours autant pouffer.

From #DragonMagazine number 293.
This is a great article on #WorldBuilding and sums up my thoughts on prep for #DungeonsAndDragons (or any #TTRPG for that matter) - know your world.
Some inspirational reading tonight. Having a chill after a big week. #DnD #OSR #DragonMagazine #DungeonsAndDragons
Reading #DragonMagazine number 254. Some great articles on non-weapon profiencies, pit traps, and giants.
Such great #DnD inspiration in these magazines. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG.
#dragonmagazine adverts were something else. Look at this armoured mountain lion riding guy just rocking out on a mountaintop. Stats on a postcard pls
@pauldrye That Daniel Thorne cover is one of my favorite #DragonMagazine covers. Easily Top 3...
Some years back I divested myself of my _Dragon Magazine_ collection via Facebook, and I just found the one tranche I couldn't send to the interested party due to international shipping cost.
This is Dragon 56-60, 62-68 and they have truly been beaten to hell; only 7 have covers intact. I just want to get them to a good home, and I don't want to deal with EBay for this.
PM me if you're interested. (To clarify, I'm just looking for postage costs.)
It's #DragonMagMonday
And over on how-i-run-it.com I did a deep dive on Dragon Magazine #109 from May 1986, that had a huge influence on a 15-year version of me's D&D playing (and gaming in general).

Reading #DragonMagazine on the train on the to the city. Who needs music when you have Dragon. #TTRPG #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons
St Vinnie’s was having a tabletop sale at the Willy St location. I found these in the #TTRPG section! I don’t really need Ron Edward’s Sorcerer, but I will pay $1.50 for a historical curiosity. I’m most excited by @Wizardthieffighter’s Witchburner in excellent condition!
A popular approach to adding #alchemy and #astrology to #ADnD was "make a new character class," as #DragonMagazine often did. I don't like that approach, because building a whole character class ends up adding *too* much magic to the jobs.
Creating more specific spells for traditional #DnD character classes isn't much better, because who someone spend decades studying to be a wizard just to do horoscopes?
So maybe putting those things *outside* the traditional spellcasting system is better?
This little bit from a 1981 Dragon Magazine (need to find the original...) makes me chuckle every time I see it. It appears most of us have picked up one of these in the last decade. #petrock #smartphone #cursed #dandd #dungeonsanddragons #dragonmagazine
Dang, where'd they get a picture of me in the future? (Dragon #9, 1977)
One of the suggestions was very ... creative. #DragonMagazine #dnd #ttrpg
