It was published in August 1980 by Dragon Publishing. According to the last page of Dragontales, "Dragon Publishing is a division of TSR Hobbies, Inc. . . . Besides publishing Dragon magazine . . . Dragon Publishing is also the exclusive North American distributor for the British gaming magazines The Wargamer and White Dwarf." |

That's interesting. I have never seen one of those before. Do you know how many they published? |

It'sa TSR publication from 1980 or so. I've never seen a Dragontales go for very much. I've owned a few in my time, it's a collection of short stories that either appeared in Dragon magazine, or were scheduled to appear and instead packaged in this format (very similar to a Dragon Magazine). IIRC, long time TSR staffer Roger Moore had a story, and then a bunch of people I don't remember. It may be rare, but they seem to turn up with regularlity here and there.

It took me awhile to sell my copy of Dragontales a few weeks back. (went for $9.99 and free shipping). They've never been easy to sell and they used to be pretty common. (though that was 5 or 6 years ago). |

I gave my Dragontales away for free here a few years ago - grodog claimed it. The condition was:
| Quote: | Dragontales magazine (fiction compilation put out by Dragon magazine, includes stories by Tom Moldvay and Roger Moore) - interior pages are generally clean, but the cover is fugly. Front cover has some gunk on it (toothpaste? Shocked ) and the back cover has heavy scuffing and waviness. Bought this at a used bookstore in crunchy Bellingham, WA.
|
From my "Garbage Pits of Despair" thread. Speaking of which, we haven't had a good free giveaway here in a while. Beyondthebreach used to do them every so often. I may have a thing or two around here. |

I'll bet this copy of Dragontales fetches quite a bit:
