Could anybody recommend a resource for determining which inserts (i.e. fold-out posters, token sheets, centerfold modules, CDs, etc...) were included with individual issues of Dragon, Dungeon, and/or Polyhedron magazine?
I've seen a few incomplete lists (either they only cover a subset of those magazines, or the list is inconsistently correct), but outside of those, I've come up empty.

If you have patience and search here, I'm pretty sure we talked about Polyhedron at some point.

Dungeon and Dragon would obviously be much harder to effectively search for.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

I have tried to make a comprehensive list on the Acaeum's Wiki, but alas, I grow older and more F-ed up with each passing day.

I am sure I got SOME of them right, though.

Dave, get the barbarian in the corner a drink, quick!

I wonder if you could get an idea of what appeared in Dragon by checking the PDFs from the Magazine Archive CDs. Granted, it would only be through the first 250 issues, but that should be a good start.

Your efforts with the Acaeum's Wiki are truly appreciated!

With the Dragon Mag CD Archive, they did forget some of the inserts originally and made them available for download on the website. These are the downloads I have, I think it's all of them.

64 Counters & Cards (3 pages)
65 Counters & Scoreboard (2)
72 Cards & Game Board (4)
77 Counters (2)
82 Map with Counters (2)
88 Game Board & Counters (3)
132 Counters & Map/Tables/Character Counters (12)
147 Game Board/Chits/Cards, etc (10)
148 Cards (8)

I included the number of pages in the files. They are for one and two sided pages, so they won't be accurate counts compared to the physical magazine. If you need a physical count of these let me know.

Thanks everybody. Yeah, this may end up being an issue by issue "research project".

This will probably be the way to go (at least for Dragon), thanks Mister Yuk. This software plus fairly pricey in its physical release - do you know of place which offers it for sale digitally?

No I don't unfortunately. Checking eBay solds, they seem to pretty consistently get about $75-85 with a couple going higher.

Amazon is way higher than that.

Past auctions on RPGAuctions (FB) are all over the place from $60-250.

Just thinking out loud though, if you can get in on the low range of that it's about 30 cents a magazine. I'd doubt you could beat that in legal pdfs. Just my opinion.
