BLUE DRAGON PRESS
with Game Master Chuck
Blue Dragon Press is an independent Role-Playing Webzine wrapped in a blog.
I first gain interest in Dungeons & Dragons in the mid 80’s. I saw some older kids talking about experience points and exchanging clay coins between classes. Before long, The AD&D 2nd edition DM Guide was in my hands and my daily read. My local game shop was a weekly stop. What was in the new edition of DRAGON Magazine? Was there any official TSR high level adventures? What were independent publishers like Judges Guild putting out? Any new Ral Parthia metal miniatures? These were all questions my local game shop owner could answer. Side note. My favorite game shop was run by a guy who looked like Benny Hill. He also had the uncanny ability to memorize almost every rule in every game. And yes including old school war games. I loved going to that shop.
Some of my favorite memories of playing DnD in the early days included certain editions of DRAGON Magazine. It started with grass roots style publishing at first. The art work and technical writing got better over the years but those first editions were gold for sparking the creative mind.
Blue Dragon Press is the realization of my very own webzine, wrapped in a blog.
