Space Gamer #41

Space Gamer #41 (cover date July 1981) is your guide to the hallowed halls of the hobby's history – and the articles are fun to read, too!

In addition to the regular game reviews, news, and letters, this issue is devoted to Dungeons & Dragons. Articles supporting this theme include thoughts on the beginnings of TSR, Inc., by Dungeons & Dragons co-designer Gary Gygax; alternate races and non-humans (including contest winners); and a silly (and perhaps familiar) adventure for heroes.

There are also articles for those who play other games, including systemless insight for playing thieves; a list of "don'ts" for GMs; tips for players of The Fantasy Trip; and Part 14 in the series "Game Design: Theory and Practice," co-written by Steve Jackson.

Whether you're a fan of old-school gaming or a historian of our hobby, each issue of Space Gamer is the perfect passport to the past!
