‘Foul up’
Dear Editor:
I did not think too much of issue #52. The
info on bettering the cleric class helped, as
did the Sage Advice and the 3 bounty
hunter NPC classes, but the list stops
there.
The D&D Basic Set articles
did not help me
nor probably anyone else who reads DRAGON
because nearly everyone who reads the magazine
plays D&D already. Leomund’sTiny
Hut <link>
didn’t help me as a DM because I don’t use
Greyhawk.
The “Knock, knock” article was worthless,
too. What’s the use of having an armed fortress
(or a fortress, period)? In my opinion,
forts and the like slow down campaigns, while
good dungeons or town adventures make it
more complete.
The Dragon’s Bestiary was no good this
month, either. If I was to define a rhaumbusun,
I would say, “a weak basilisk.” So why
have rhaumbusuns when you can have basilisks?
And the pelins — what do they do to
help a campaign? Zilch.
I felt the same about the Boris article that
Don Corman (Out on a Limb, #52) felt about <link>
the Tim Hildebrandt article. I like the art, but
how does that help me as a DM?
That GAMMA WORLD module, scenario,
as you called it, was not worth beans. I looked
it over thoroughly, and I would like to know
the purpose of it. Personally, I like to encounter
things every once and again, but in this
scenario the only things to be encountered
are 15 badders and a parn, possibly.
I like your magazine, but every once in a
while even great magazines like DRAGON
foul up.
