AD&D1 in Dragon #400

Just was reading through some of the new articles that will be in Dragon #400.  Current WotC employees are talking about their favorite Dragon moments.  Mike Mearls brings back Roger Moore's Jester and keeps it as 1st Edition AD&D.   Odd seeing a 1st ed character in 4e trade dress.

Anyway here it is, but you need to be a subscriber.

I'd imagine. I wonder why they did it.

Well it fits the visual style of the magazine is the easiest answer of course, but I did have to do a bit of reading to know what system it was in fact for.

Oh, sorry. What I meant was I wonder why they bothered to include a 1e article at all, since it wouldn't easily have been convertible to 4e, unlike a great many other articles from the past they could have chosen.

Ah.

Just to celebrate the original article I guess.
It had me curious as well.
