The Complete Bard's Handbook was an <a href="http://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/44584/the-complete-bards-handbook" rel="nofollow">actual TSR product</a> released that year, not an April Fool's gag. Issue 180 kept the shenanigans down to a one-page illustration (see table of contents), which was definitely not the Bard Handbook ad. I guess they had gotten sick of producing bad game humor year after year.Roger G-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594440701279968693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829093857574761981.post-44457136923654244972013-02-15T17:52:24.842+00:002013-02-15T17:52:24.842+00:00Did you really just criticize an April Fool's ...Did you really just criticize an April Fool's issue of Dragon Magazine by claiming that it was the standard content of the magazine?<br /><br />Yes.

And despite a new found appreciation for prior styles of gameplay, I still do (eat it up).<br /><br />Maybe not this particular issue, but looking at quite a few Dragons of that era fills my little gamer's heart with avarice for cool toys, more character options, and slicker monsters.<br /><br />Oddly, despite a love for certain aspects of 3.x, it was during the 2000s when I really started to find Dragon content something I could do without.Peter K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17181421723646836427noreply@blogger.com
