For three decades, Dragon magazine has been the official monthly resource for Dungeons & Dragons players. Many monster, classes and even campaign settings that have gone on to define the modern game first appeared in Dragon's pages, and a history of the magazine is a history of the game itself. The Dragon Compendium collects the most popular classic articles from throughout Dragon magazine's proud history, all updated to the current edition of the D&D rules. Selected with the input of current and former editors and D&D fans across the world, the articles in this 256-page volume are proven favorites-material you will want to reference again and again. From new DBD publisher Paizo Publishing!

Good Times,

This review is from: Dragon Compendium Volume 1 (Dungeons & Dragons) (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
There are some great creatures in here, members of my party have already been beaten down by a crafty DM with this book in his arsenal. After I saw it I knew it was a must buy to supplement my games.

A Great Resource for D&D 3.5 - But Something's Missing...,
By
This review is from: Dragon Compendium Volume 1 (Dungeons & Dragons) (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
For those of us still playing D&D 3.5 despite the premier of (ugh!) 4th Edition, Dragon Compendium Vol. 1 provides some interesting content that DM and player alike will find useful.
This book includes new base classes (including an insect skilled in 2-handed fighting), prestige classes, equipment, feats, and monsters taken from more than 30 years of Dragon magazine articles and fully updated to be compatible with 3.5. There are also a number of effective things available specifically with the DM in mind - how to use runes in a game (with a couple of handy runic alphabets all ready to use), how to use riddles in a game, how to concoct solo adventures, and so on. There is also a mini gallery of recent Dragon covers in the back (most, if not all of which can also be seen in The Art Of Dragon Magazine). What disappointed me, however, is that there are no adventures or encounters included in this book - something I was really hoping for. As a fledgling DM writing his first big campaign right now, I need a little help and inspiration with some of the challenges for my players and I was expecting this book to help out a little in that area. Unfortunately, it was not to be. However, I do recommend this book to all DMs (and players) still playing 3.5 who want a different flavor and edge to their game.

An very strong book,
This review is from: Dragon Compendium Volume 1 (Dungeons & Dragons) (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
This book is awesome. I was happy to finally recieve it because it was so difficult to find anywhere near me. Especially since the travisty of 4th edition came out. Anyway, I suggest that anyone interested buy this product. Especially if you use the whole "apply for credit card and get $30 off thing".
