Oh, I never realized "The Gnome Cache" in early Dragons was Gary Gygax's writing ("Garrison Ernst" oh obvs=EG). It was *dreadful*, so maybe I should've, but yow. There were also good stories by Gardner Fox, actual Fritz Leiber(!!!), etc.

Ich glaube, eine Runde Dragon Magazin ist jetzt genau das Richtige für die Feiertagssaison. Hab ich bock drauf.

The month I began playing #DnD (December 1983), #DragonMagazine published a mildly-mathematical article asserting #ADnD coins must therefore be approximately the size of an Eisenhower dollar coin. This conclusion also amused me, and I never forgot it.
An intersection of two of my favorite topics: #RPGs and #math! I have this issue of the old-school #DragonMagazine. I bought it with my own earnings from chores. The date is October 1983, which would be when I was almost 13 years old and in eighth grade. I remember typing the included code into my #Commodre64, then rolling all my dice to see if they passed. 😅 It also features a revamp of the Psionicist. So, I share this link with you. Enjoy!
