	Description Edit \| History

User summary:

Chimaera is a very early fanzine dedicated to coverage of Diplomacy, Soccerboss, Kingmaker, and other postal games. It also covered postal campaigns of Empire of the Petal Throne, Dungeons & Dragons (Original Edition), and En Garde! (English RPG), as well as providing reviews and general comments on other early roleplaying games.

Chimaera was edited (and largely illustrated and written) by Clive F. Booth and published 102 issues between June 1975 and July 1983.

Digital scans of all issues are available here:

	More Information Edit \| History

User summary:

The first (very brief) mention of Dungeons & Dragons (Original Edition) occurs in issue 5.

Two long-running "D&D" games were carried in Chimaera. Dave Tant was the DM and scribe for (OD&D->D&D->AD&D) The Pits of Cil and Clive F. Booth was the DM and scribe for the later (AD&D) "Evander". Paul Cook also contributed a multi-part campaign summary / sessions report about The Isle of Wight Campaign during 1976/1977.

Regular coverage of Empire of the Petal Throne, by Clive F. Booth, begins in issue 11 and continues through issue 43.

Regular coverage of En Garde! (English RPG), by Allan J. Ovens, begins in issue 16 and continues through issue 25.
