For years, there have been rumors about the old DragonQuest team, well, doing something together again. This is the clearest indicator that something is in the works.
For my part, I obviously wasn't even when the first edition of DQ was released; I only discovered the game around 2007, but since then I've been a fan: The adventures, especially "The Enchanted Forest" by Jennell Jaquays, are among my all-time favorites. Whenever I run a game, I think of these old modules first.

Everybody remember DragonQuest? It was SPI's answer to D&D, and it had a good run before it went out of print. There were three editions, the last in 1989.
Anyway, DragonQuest author Eric Goldberg has asked me to try to track down a DQ manuscript I wrote in the early '80s. If SPI had remained in business, this would have come out as an SPI book about worldbuilding. But . . . not in this timeline.
I no longer have that manuscript. Pesky flood . . . This was so long ago that it was actually typed, on an actual typewriter, so no electronic copies exist. But I know that at least twice, at the request of DQ fans, I sent out photocopies. So here's a long-shot request: If any of you were recipients, or second-hand recipients, or whatever, of this material, can you get in touch with me? Thanks!
