magazine has been the

official periodical of the

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game.

From introducing important

monsters like the bulette, mind

flayer, and ankheg, to previewing

popular campaign settings like

the FORGOTTEN REALMS and

DRAGONLANCE, DRAGON has played an

integral role in D&D's development.

Years ago, the editors of DRAGON

used to compile the best articles

from recent issues into special

editions called the Best of DRAGON.

The practice ended in 1986 with the

fifth volume in the series. Since then,

excellent material from DRAGON'S pages has come

and gone, some sneaking its way into official D&D

products and some slipping away into the bookshelf-

bound obscurity of an old magazine collection.

In 2003, Paizo Publishing hit upon the idea of producing

hardcover compilations of articles and adventures from

the DRAGON and DUNGEON back catalogues, updated for

play in the current edition of the D&D game. Our first

hardcover, the Shackled City Adventure Path, was released

in August to excellent reviews. But the second book was

really the first one we had imagined, and initial work

began on it more than two years ago.

In my original vision, the DRAGON Compendium

would be a hardcover version of the old Best of Dragons,

compiling excellent articles from the magazine's history

and updating them to the most recent version of the

game, so that all of those great gems that should have

made it into the "canon" of printed material could finally

appear in a single easy — to — reference source compatible

with the game we're all

playing right now. To

begin the herculean

task of assembling

this monster, I spent

several weeks with Paizo's

complete printed archive

of every issue of DRAGON

and DRAGON'S predecessor,

a slim black and white

newsletter called The Strategic

Review, which comprised

seven issues printed between

1975 and 1976.

As I combed through

the archive, I began marking

articles that caught my eye

with colored post-it notes. Yellow denoted items

of historical interest to the D&D game, such as old

advertisements or essays from the likes of Gary Gygax

or Ed Greenwood. Blue was for monsters, green was

for magic items, red for new classes, and so on. I'd

remembered many of these excellent articles from the

first time they appeared, or from the excellent (and now

quite rare) CD-ROM compilation of DRAGON'S first

250 issues. It took weeks, but I finally made it through

every single issue, and by the time I was done I not only

had a better understanding of the magazine's history

and how I might better edit the modern DRAGON, but

I also had dozens of hanging file folders stuffed with

photocopies of every single article that had caught my

eye on the first pass.

This spelled trouble, because there was just no way

we could reprint all of the great material that had

originally seen publication in the pages of DRAGON.

The monsters alone would have filled three 256-page

DRAGON got its start as The Strategic Review,

a newsletter that ran from 1975-1976.
