I was wondering if there was going to be a book i Dragon Magazine chronicles, and if so, what would it be like?

I don't think there's gonna be one, and why did you name the thread "RICH BURLEW DO NOT READ"?

Rich said he plans to make the Dragon Magazine strips available to people who didn't read them in Dragon somehow. That was a long time ago, however.

Given that he's the only one who could fulfill your request... maybe you shouldn't be trying to warn him away from the thread? :smallconfused:

I assume Rich WANTED to make the strips available. But I guess there are copyright problems with Paizo or the former publisher, WotC.

They're available in .pdf format on BitTorrent. Normally there's the whole "stealing" thing, but seeing as it's the only way to get the comics other than hunting down old copies of Dragon...

I have all these strips on backed up on my computer, in case the magazines ever get lost or whatever. I suppose I could share them if it's not illegal?

I'm not sure where the relevant quote is right now, so I can't provide proper citation, but when Rich did make his official statement on the issue, the primary problem was that there weren't enough Dragon strips for a single book. He's just trying to work out a proper delivery mechanism.

It is illegal.

Yes, he owns the copyright, there's simply just not enough to make a book. Go do a search on his name and look back, it was within the last year or so.

Most likely they would be included as bonus material in a book, I'm guessing the next prequel book, or possibly even just a bonus sequence on the web after the strip ends.



AND DON'T DISCUSS HOW TO STEAL HIS WORK ON HIS OWN WEBSITE.

That's just the opposite of class.
