Lovecraft's Ideas (sometimes through the interpretation of August Derleth, Fritz Leiber, Brian Lumley, and others) are deeply incorporated into today's role playing games.
From the seller: Here is the main magazine for the role playing game community, no longer printed (this issue is from the second volume of the magazine & very early in the history of Dungeons & Dragons - popular fantasy RPG from TSR of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.) Beginning to appear more professional, this issue has features like the Illusionist that will later be incorporated into the Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games. Ads are an interesting look back at the the earliest RPG companies such as Judges Guild, Grenadier, Ral Partha, Chaosium. A great issue marred by the terrible cover damage as seen in the front scan! ... Contents Include The Humorous Side of D&D, The Druids, "Quag Keep" (fantasy story by Andre Norton), A New Look at Illusionists, The Persian Mythos, Ship's Cargo (seagoing treasures), Some Thoughts of the Speed of a Lightning Bolt (Jamea Ward), Sorcerer's Scroll (Rob Kuntz column, on H. P. Lovecraft mythos gods), Advanced D&D Monster Manual Review, Wormy (cartoon by Tramp), Fineous Fingers (cartoon by JDW). Item Identification The Dragon Magazine #12, Vol. II, #6. Size 11 x 8.5 inches, 32 pages. Publisher TSR Periodicals. Date February, 1978
