Your Obdurate Serpent, whose hoard you are attempting to pillage. Oh, go ahead. It's there for the taking anyway. I'll find more. No! Not that piece, that's special!!
You may have noticed there’s not been many changes/updates here since the resurrection from the Internet Archive/ Life happens, and sometimes, those happenings aren’t great.
If you are a person with interest in updating the DragonQuest Frontiers site, please let me know what your skill sets are, and where your interests lie. I’d really like some help, as frankly, I’m not getting any younger (I’m 69 this coming August.)
I keep an internet search for items related to DragonQuest running across several sites: ABEBooks, eBay, etc. Over the years, I’ve picked up several copies of the 2nd and 3rd Edition rulesets, to share with our gaming group, as the expense isn’t all that much more than new copies of the current Dungeons and Dragons 5th editions books, in fact, many times, it’s been less expensive.
While most of my hits from eBay are not actually relevant (the video games for the Dragon Quest (formally published as Dragon Warrior in North America until 2005) series, or Anne McCaffery’s Dragon Riders of Pern books, every great once in a while, someone will let go of what I’m actually looking for. I’ve found copies of Ares Magazine (usually wanting way too much for them, and I have digital copies of almost all of them by now), and the afore-mentioned 2nd and 3rd edition ruleset.
Boxed set of the First Edition of DragonQuest
But earlier this month – a huge surprise: a boxed set of the first edition, listed as “uncut”. I hit that “buy now ” button and waited. The package arrived yesterday (I wasn’t actually expecting it that soon, either due to the whole COVID-19 thing, so 5 stars to the seller for promptness for that alone!)
As I’m opening the packaging, I hear something rattling, so I’m extra careful when opening the actual box. Inside, I find a true treasure.
 The original 3 rulebooks, plus flat counters – uncut!! |
 Box inserts – map, character sheet, and SPI catalog |
 Addenda! More Addenda! and an SASE to register your game with SPI, Inc (of fond memory). |
While the previous files have been excavated from the Wayback Machine, it’s taking a while to go through them, and do the necessary clean up, and figure out how to organize all of the information.
