7 / 10ModernZorkerIt's fascinating to look at this point in gaming history from which would eventually explode the long-running Dragon Magazine. With only three double-sided pages, there's not much room for content and barely any artwork, but it would have been well worth the fifty cent price tag back in the day to anybody interested in FRPGs and for a launch issue. Lots of editorializing and historical nit-picking--you can tell these guys were totally into their hobby. The standout feature of TSR #1 is the Solo Dungeon Adventures article, which is so useful that it got lifted practically chart-for-chart and word-for-word into the first edition Dungeon Master's Guide. Nobody around to whet your appetite for a good ol' dungeon crawl? Grab your dice and create a dungeon for your own characters to bungle through on the fly. Kinda like Diablo via pen-and-paper. Great stuff!

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
