On April 18, 2007, Wizards of the Coast announced that it would not be renewing Paizo's licenses for Dragon. "Class Acts", monthly one- or two-page articles offering ideas for developing specific character classes, were also introduced by Paizo. It tied Dragon more closely to Dungeon by including articles supporting and promoting its major multi-issue adventures such as the "Age of Worms" and "Savage Tide". Dragon was published by Paizo starting September 2002 with issue #299.

#DRAGON MAGAZINE ARCHIVE PDF#
Because the actual archive is in Adobe's PDF format, the files can be read by anyone with a Macintosh and Adobe Acrobat. This product fails pretty badly in the Mac world. It's not Macintosh compatible: I own a "PeeCee" box, but I work for HP's Macintosh group, so I'm more than normally sensitive to the world of the Mac. Here's how it all breaks down, starting with the negatives: On the strength of that nostalgic vision alone, I decided to buy the archive.
When the release of the Dragon Magazine Archive was announced, I instantly flashed back to a dreary autumn afternoon, tucked in the library, reading an article in Dragon about the new "Beastmaster" NPC class for AD&D.
Recently I have been going through a period of heavy nostalgia for those "good old" days. D&D was my introduction to gaming, and it was a good one. I'm not a great fan of TSR, but I did play Dungeons & Dragons through most of the 80s.
