From the editor Here we are at last, issue five in hand. This represents a milestone for us, as we enter the second volume of Gygax Magazines publication history. Technically, our second volume should also mark our second year, gygax magazine pdf download, but as our infinitely patient and sainted subscribers are aware, it has taken us a bit longer than a year to get to number five. Of course, the fact that youre reading this means that theres a decent possibility that you may be one of the people who joined us with issue 1 and has renewed for gygax magazine pdf download second tour of duty, and for that we all thank you.
Saying complimentary things to readers and pouring on the gratitude might be gygax magazine pdf download bit of a shopworn way to start out an editorial, but believe me, its from the heart. Its becoming a happy tradition to welcome new staff members to TSR in this part of the magazine, and Im pleased to carry that on by welcoming Michelle Weidman and Andrew Rodgers. Michelle is the operations manager for Gygax Magazine and TSR, and is here in part to make sure the quarterly schedule we profess lives up to its name, so that the year close with our eighth issue.
This year will also see a number of other products coming from TSR, meaning that its more important than ever that we gygax magazine pdf download organized and productive. Which leads nicely to Andrew Rodgers, our new designer. This is the second issue of Gygax Magazine that Andrew has designed, and if you dont mind my saying so, I think it looks a peach. Andrews first work with us was just before Gary Conwhen he designed the limited edition standalone Top Secret module, Operation: Rendevous Oasis.
Anyone who was fortunate enough to play at The Administrator Merle Rasmussens table at Gary Con this year went home with a copy, and was among the first to see Andrews great photocollage work, gygax magazine pdf download, as well as the maps that he collaborated with Diesel on, giving them that gritty desert-worn look. Were proud to have both Michelle and Andrew with us, and Im personally thankful for the chance to work with them.
I mentioned new products in the coming year, so let me say a brief word about those. Were beginning with a series of adventure modules, the first of which will be from Luke Gygax. Issue two of this magazine gave a taste of the lands of Okkorim, gygax magazine pdf download, with the players getting their first exposure to the Blighted Lands. The world Luke has created is a rich game environment, and a harsh and unforgiving land for the characters that brave it.
Also inweve got products on deck from Frank Mentzer, James Carpio, and a team of very special original TSR employees that were proud to be working with, but keeping under wraps until we have a little more to reveal. Under-promise and over-deliver, isnt that the saying? For the moment, let me make sure that Gygax magazine pdf download following the first part of that rule.
Back to this issue thats in your hands. There are two new columns, both from regulars within these pages. Weve just decided that their stuff was so good that it ought to be something you could count on every time.
Our contributing editor Tim Kask is debuting a new section called Bottom of the Pile. Its a look at the board games that many of us have sitting in our game closets, sometimes overlooked, or that merit a look from gamers who may have gygax magazine pdf download them the first time around.
Our second new regular feature comes from Jon Peterson, author of Playing at the World and consistent contributor to Gygax Magazine since issue 2. Weve convinced him to hang his hat, pick out some curtains, and settle in to stay, and starting with this issue, his regular column is called the Walworth Archives, gygax magazine pdf download. The cover of this issue comes from one of my favorite artists of all time, Walter Velez.
His work has appeared in myriad places, including many TSR products, but I will always gygax magazine pdf download of him first as the artist who brought Robert Asprins worlds to life in Myth Adventures and Thieves World.

The news today is full of the word trade used in all sorts of settings. From sports, gygax magazine pdf download, illicit activities, business by the handshake on a personal scale, to the international mega-corporations on a global scale, trade is everywhere and everyone talks of globalization as if it were something new. Whether you focus on the positive or negative sides of globalization one thing is certaintrade is not something new, gygax magazine pdf download.
When a small child, gygax magazine pdf download, who cannot yet speak, picks up a mundane stone and hands it to you and you take it as if it were the most precious thing in the world, that is trade. Trade is not merely an exchange of goods and services, gygax magazine pdf download, but communication as well. You dont need to kill it and take its property if you can bargain with it.
Traders deal in desires and dreams, in wants and needs, and whatever might fulfill them. The following kits explore and possibly expand the role of a trader in any fantasy role-playing game setting.
Indeed, some of the kits are based on the roles of actual historic merchants and professionals from ancient times right through to the present day. Because the Dark Sun setting has certain aspects that differ from other fantasy settings, I will be inserting occasional commentary and extensions of the kit descriptions to make them suitable for that setting.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott Morgan for his advice in adapting the trader for the Pathfinder system. Written by Anthony Pryor, this book details the basic workings of the class and some of the various trading houses and elven tribes for the original Dark Sun setting.
The book detailed all the basics for creating a trader character including things like the minimum attributes and new bonus skills. Some, though not all, gygax magazine pdf download, of the kits below will also require a high intelligence or even a high dexterity in addition to the minimums for wisdom and charisma.
Additional campaign and background information specifically useful to the trader class can also be found in the Ivory Triangle box set for the Dark Sun setting published in Further information that is valuable for traders can be found in the. Dark Sun accessories Slave Tribes and Elves of Athas, the latter of which details a more advanced set of rules and a system for bartering on Athas, which has also been published as a stand-alone article in Polyhedron Newszine In this article I hope to address these inconsistencies and offer some new character kits to expand the trader class in any campaign setting.
In addition to three kits already specifically published for Athasian rogues: the caravaneer and sycophant kits appearing in Dragon Magazine in the article Slave Hunters and Silt Sailors by L. Richard Baker III and the draqoman kit appearing in the City-State of Tyr accessory by Walter Baas; the following kits increase the possible variations on the trader theme.
With the publication of Dragon Magazine 62, Leonard Lakofka wrote an article titled Magic for Merchants in which he sets up and describes a system for determining access to cantrips, minor wizard spells up to 2nd leveland a minor form of magic for merchants, less powerful even than cantrips, that he called mysteries. Although originally intended for NPCs, access to these minor magics is certainly a very interesting aspect of the trader PC class.
I mean if bards can learn wizard magic as well as have their own professional spells why not traders too? But, because of the nature of magic in the Dark Sun setting, access to these types of magics is not appropriate to Athasian merchants and no further discussion of this aspect of the trader class will be made here, gygax magazine pdf download. By gygax magazine pdf download time Dragon Magazine was published, a full-blown merchant background was in place for the Forgotten Realms and in this issue an article by Ed Greenwood titled Kings of the Caravans detailing some of the powerful NPCs associated with merchant houses in the Realms was featured.
However, for dealing with the following kits, gygax magazine pdf download, only the basic trader description from the DSER box set or the Dune Trader accessory, as well as the bartering rules gygax magazine pdf download the original Dark Sun boxed set or from the excerpt from Elves of Athas in Polyhedron 87, are absolutely necessary.
One other important thing to remember when dealing with merchants and merchandise in the following kits is that the monetary system and currency of the Dark Sun setting is rather different from more traditional settings. Metal is rare on Athas and so currency comes primarily in the form of ceramic pieces cp and bits more often than metal. As such, the initial funds a trader receives when a player rolls up a new character will vary depending on the setting.
According to this method the trader doubles the amount of initial funds for a standard. If we compare the DSER table with Table 43 of the Players Handbook PHB we find that, in order to maintain consistency between the tables, a trader character in a world using Table 43 would need to double the total for rogues on that table, or 2d6 x 20 gp.
The first volume of the Encyclopedia Magica also serves very well as an additional resource for GMs and players with a trader PC since it lists extensive tables gygax magazine pdf download easily converting currencies among the various TSR Inc. A discrepancy has been introduced between Dune Trader and the DSER in that the racial restrictions, and the associated level limits are different in the latter.
