An unfortunate 'Sign of Our Times'...
It's the end of an era going back 37 years as Japan's Dragon Magazine - home of Dragon Half, Patlabor, Slayers, the Sword World RPG, and Weathering Continent among many others - has ceased publication this year. The final issue apparently came out in May of 2025.
Haven't bought it or even seen in a long while but I was an avid collector from the late 80s to the mid 90s. Honestly I'm feeling a little heartbroken. This magazine was my first glimpse into the world of Japanese Tabletop RPGs and introduced me to many of my favorite games, as well as Replays, TRPG related Manga, and the idea of Light Novels.
Sayonara Dragon Magazine, Gokurousama.
