Dragons at Dawn is not currently available. Here is hoping that it be made available again and even if it is someday revised and republished that the original version be made available. Edit: My bad, it is available at Barnes & Noble online as an ebook. Dragons at Dawn: The First Fantasy Game System by D.H. Boggs for $6.99 as a Nook Book. |

The link above is dead, as are other links I have found by searching online.
Does anyone know the status of Dragons at Dawn? Is it available for purchase or free download?
Has anyone around here actually read it?

Has anyone around here actually read it? The author withdrew it and is supposed to be reworking it or something like that. (but that has been years now) I have read it and have a pdf copy from when it was originally out. I have not looked at it for quite some time. I will add that to my list of things to write about. |

Has this ever been re-released or was it abandoned.

Has anyone around here actually read it? I have it and it is on my short list of projects coming up "next". I'm highly interested in this game. I even have a pdf of the supplement Dragons at Twilight. I am digging into it soon and will be posting about it. Anything in particular you would like to know? |

I will edit this post and tag you if I can think of a specific question, now I need to hustle (didn't want to leave you hanging). I guess I just really want to see the thing and get a feel for this reconstructed system from the "early" days. Like everyone, I really do wonder about the poorly-documented state of things before OD&D. I have been thinking more about The First Fantasy Campaign lately and it bothers me / stimulates me that I don't know how things were resolved during play. |

I'll begin with an overview and adjust to any specific questions you have later... |

If he is not going to do any update or revision anytime soon, then he should make it available again, instead of forcing people to trade it around and pirate it. Removing products from circulation is never a good look whether you are WotC or just a guy. The depth of bottom feeder IMO are people who remove their blogs. |

There is a supplement that is no longer being sold and there is another volume that is for sale called The Book of Elder Magic. I would like to have this, but not enough to pay $11 for it in paperback from Lulu, although it is available as an ebook from DriveThruRPG for $6.50. So maybe something, but not right now. |

Since I have Dragons at Dawn, Dragons at Twilight and Champions of ZED, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get The Book of Elder Magic sometime "soon". |

I'll start working on something... How are you coming along with this? Slowly but surely.... I'm still plugging away at BOTH of these. More of a list of observations and impressions rather than a typical review. Soon.... |
