The Petal Throne Takes Over – Dragon Magazine #4 (1976)

Описание: 🐉 Dragon Hoard – Episode 4
Unearthing treasures from classic Dragon Magazines—one issue at a time.

This episode dives into Dragon Magazine Vol. 1, No. 4 (December 1976) — the Special: Empire of the Petal Throne issue that was so packed TSR had to add extra pages. If you’ve ever wanted to see what happens when a fully-realized fantasy world (Tékumel) hijacks a magazine and refuses to leave… this is it.

📚 What’s Inside Dragon #4?

Dragon Rumbles: Why Empire of the Petal Throne is a worldbuilding heavyweight

Dispatches to the Petal Throne: In-world reports, faction politics, and campaign “parallel timelines”

Androids Aboard the Warden: Sci-fi horror and infiltrating android “shamans”

Jakalla Encounters: Street-level trouble, cult activity, gangs, and city hooks

Battle of the Temple of Chanis: Tékumel warfare & miniatures-ready mayhem

Double Creature Feature: Strange threats from Tékumel’s wild bestiary

Misc. Oddball D&D Stuff: The classic “what did I just read?” section

Road(s) from Jakalla: Fiction that lives in the setting

Mapping the Dungeons: Pre-internet gamer networking for D&D and EPT

Wizards Defined: A hilarious power-scale “memo” for spellcasters

Wargaming World: Vintage minis news, including early Tékumel and D&D figure lines

EPT Eye Matrix: Percentile treasure tables with wonderfully dramatic artifact names

Temple of Vimuhla Pictorial: A legendary display built for GenCon with a truly insane amount of labor

🎲 Question for you:
Would you ever run a campaign in Tékumel—or would your players set the setting on fire within 10 minutes? 😄
