Dragon Survey

Dragon magazine was the monthly magazine for Dungeons & Dragons. It was published from 1976 to this month 2007 — the last paper issue was #359, September 2007. Its content is now only published online, but that’s not really a magazine to me.

I had a subscription to Dragon from the early 80s to the early 90s, and I picked up individual later issues, off the newsstand, here and there through the years. Some years I’d only pick up one or two issues, but since somewhere around 2003, I’d been buying 3-6 each year. The September 1983 issue (25 years ago this month) had the only readership survey I ever saw in Dragon. (There may have been others, but I never saw them.)

I had filled out the survey, but I never sent it in. Of the 20 questions, I didn’t answer #15 “How do you rate DRAGON Magazine overall compared with other gaming magazines?” and #20 “What other magazines do you read?” I didn’t read any other magazines at the time, gaming or other.
