Mae Govennan!
I didn't quite know where to post this and, indeed, don't know if it's already been covered in a past post, so here it sits.
I'm looking to expand on my reading but lately, I've been getting a little tired of reading novel after novel and want to catch up on all the lore I've missed out on in the short stories that have appeared in issues of Dragon Magazine. If someone would do me the honor, I'm looking for all the back-issues of Dragon that contain any Forgotten Realms shorts. Also, considering www.paizo.com won't have every back-issue, could someone recommend a place to find the harder-to-find issues?
Many thanks to all the scribes,
Sweet water and light laughter 'til next...
Tal (Neo2151)

While I can't help you with where to find back-issues (used book stores or comic book stores perhaps?) Forgotten Realms shorts are in:
#152 The First Notch by R. A. Salvatore
#238 Nothing But Trouble by Ed Greenwood
#242 In the Bleak Deepwinter by Lynn Abbey (one of my favourites)
#245 Honest and True by Troy Denning
#246 The Great Hunt by Elaine Cunningham
#247 Reunification by Jeff Grubb (featuring the characters from the Forgotten Realms comic-magazine).
#255 Dark Legacy by Mel Odom (might be nice to read before the Threat From the Sea
#259 Stolen Dreams by Elaine Cunningham (takes place simultaneously with Speking with the Dead in Realms of Mystery
#260 The Honor of Two Swords by Kate Novak-Grubb ("Brag later, fight now!")
#266 The Innkeeper's Secret by Troy Denning (set between Cormyr: a Novel and Beyond the High Road
#273 Shamur's Wager by Richard Lee Byers
#277 Another Name For Dawn by Paul S Kemp
#282 Possessions by Elaine Cunningham
#283 Garden of Souls by Richard Lee Byers
#297 And All the Sinners, Saints by Paul S Kemp
#299 Memories by Lisa Smedman (I admit, while I read the novel/short story [no longer], I have a cruch on Larajin  )
#301 Cause & Effect by Paul S Kemp
#304 Haunted, A Tale of Sembia by Dave Gross
#320 New In Town by Richard Lee Byers
#327 The Silverfish by Richard Lee Byers
#335 Game of Chance by Elaine Cunningham
#343 Rivals by Richard Lee Byers |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

You should have said something, Big Al. I'd've directed you to The DragonDex, an up-to-date index of all of the articles in Dragon. And there is a separate FR section. |

| I must say, you have my thanks Kajehase. I thought, however, that Ed introduced Faerun in Dragon. Wouldn't that place stories from Ed before #152 The First Notch by R. A. Salvatore? If I'm mistaken, please correct me, but I'm currently under this impression. |

| It would, except that Nothing But Trouble is the only short story by Ed that's been published in DRAGON magazine (it's also available in Best of the Realms II). |

| Ah... time to pester a friend/parent/brother for a ride to Gothenburg in a week or two methinks. (Adding the train-fare to the price would make the magazine rather pricy, and while I could go there by bike, I don't think I want to do a 140-kilometre ride on a bike without gears) |

I'd not be eager to make that trip on a bike with gears! |

| A trip into Dwalimar's psyche basically. Having a friend that's in good favour with a god can really help sometimes y'know |

| So they fixed Dwalimar? That's a good thing. He was pretty out of it at the end right. THat book ended on a really down note. Rags Morales was a great artist for it. That comic got me to like paladins a little as well. Having a dwarf possessed golemn in it as a main character was pretty interesting. |

At least they got to end that one... Some of the other DC/TSR titles cut off mid-story, because of the way the contract betwixt them ended. 
I really enjoyed the comics, myself. That's why I'm so happy whenever I see a reference to them in a sourcebook or novel.  |

eBay, places that sell old comics... They came out around the late 80's, early 90's. There were four titles: Forgotten Realms (wandered all over the Realms), Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (mostly in and around Waterdeep), Dragonlance (all over Krynn, and backwards and forwards in time), and Spelljammer. They were published by DC and TSR. Big Al's got the information for some of them, and I know he plans on updating the site with the info for the rest of them.
I'd say more, but I have to roll out the door to Orlando. |

Nobleknight.com also offers some of the AD&D and FR comics for sale.
And just yesterday, I picked up the three issues I was missing from the DL series at my local comic shop.

I came aboard partway into AD&D. I'd been following Dragonlance almost from the beginning... I picked up FR when it started; ditto for Spelljammer. I tracked down all the back issues I needed... and then dumped them all at my local comic shop when I bailed on comics (the first of three times). Later, when the place was going under, I went and bought them all back. |

I just got my replacement issues of AD&D the other day... Someone had the entire run, plus the Annual, in very good condition, with a Buy It Now price of $50. I jumped all over that! And the comics turned out to be in better condition than the ones I lost.
I won another auction the other day, this time for the FR comics, with one issue missing -- again, Buy It Now, but this time, only $25. The one missing issue I immediately located and bought from another seller. So, when those comics arrive, I'll have all the DC/TSR titles set in the Realms again. 
I haven't yet decided about replacing the Dragginglance and Spelljammer comics. The SJ ones were okay, but were just starting to get good when the series abruptly ended. And I enjoyed the DL ones, but I was very frustrated with the fact that they couldn't decide whether to focus on Myrella or Riva, or what timeframe to stick with.
A dark bit of irony is the fact that I specifically separated the DC/TSR titles from all my other comics. I was not sure what to do with the other comics, but I knew I wanted to keep the DC/TSR ones. I had finally gotten them all bagged and boarded, and had put them in their own box... All my other comics went into a storage unit that my stepmom has, while the DC/TSR ones went into my storage unit with all my books and toys. So those were the ones that were destroyed, while the 6 long boxes of comics that I don't care about are still safe and sound.  |

There's nothing to update, I don't think... The list is complete, according to The DragonDex. That's all the FR fiction in the printed version of Dragon. I'm not recalling seeing any in the online version, but of course I've not paid any attention to it since the DDI went to pay-only. |
