Guys, we have most of the Sage Advice from Dragon issues 250 and before in a new format for you to explore. You can see all 1800+ questions and answers at once or filter them by issue or by keywords. You can locate the question or answer of interest and tell which issue of Dragon it was in as well as see the cover of that magazine. I know that there is a lot of polarization around the quality of the column but it's also a great source of errata, proficiencies, humor, spells and more. We are still adding some missing questions and correcting spelling but it's good enough to use now.

Cool. Though it would be nice if the original authors (Jean Wells, etc) were credited for each answer.

Thanks, this one is more comprehensive than the one I've been using thus far @ http://jgrimbert.free.fr/add2/advice/?order=id&debut=0 (isssues 31 to 134).

Yes, agreed 100%. This is currently being researched and will be added soon. In fact, if you are aware of a list of Dragon issues for which a SA author was in charge of the article please let me know. Right now I'm combing through each issue one at a time and it is slow going.

The Sage Advice database has been updated to include the name of the author as well as the magazine (Strategic Review -> The Dragon -> Dragon) for each answer.
