DragonLords

DragonLords is a British role-playing game fanzine that was self-published by Marc Gascoigne, Mike Lewis, and Ian Marsh.

Publication history

DragonLords, subtitled "Yet Another Fantasy & Sci-Fi Roleplaying Magazine", began publication in the early 1980s.[1] Satirical, irreverent and self-deprecating in nature,[2] it focussed mainly on role-playing games, but also featured reviews, articles about computer games, and a regular column about Diplomacy. The fanzine ran for 22 issues. [2]

Reviews

In the August 1982 edition of Dragon (Issue #63), Gary Gygax found that "The digest-size magazine is filled with material of a fairly high value, and is surprisingly even, too." Gygax lauded DragonLords for "its obvious attempt to make meaningful contributions to adventure gaming." He concluded that "DragonLords is a well done amateur effort which seems bent on improving itself and the hobby."[3]

gollark: So I could probably say "osmarks internet radio™ - 5000 listeners" and appear at the top of the list for a bit, probably for a few days until someone noticed.
gollark: I found the code for submitting to it in the icecast source tree.
gollark: Icecast has a public icecast directory and apparently it doesn't actually have any mechanism to check that your submission is, you know, *true*.
gollark: I used icecast briefly due to issues with mpd streaming to a Discord bot but it was bad.
gollark: osmarks internet radio™ is backed by `mpd`, `ympd` and an 8-hour playlist which plays randomly with no manual intervention.
