Quick question, when did White Dwarf start including Judge Dredd RPG articles? The longer question would be which WD's contain JD RPG articles?

The reason for asking is that the new Dredd 3D movie has got me dusting off my old GW JD RPG and I'd like to get hold of every WD that contains material for this version of the RPG, I lost a pile of WD's in a house move and there's a large gap from issues 51 to 75. :(

WD 76: You're Booked! (bugeting and accounting in the game).
WD 77: The Crazy File (new crazes)
WD 78: The Spunng Ones! (scenario)
WD 79: Psi Judges
WD 80: Something Special (special abilities)
WD 82: Narks (informants)
WD 83: A Day In The Life of Sector 255 (scenario – recommended!)
WD 86: The Trouble With Time (scenario)
WD 88: A Night In The Death of Sector 255 (scenario – recommended!)
WD 90: You'll Never Take Me Alive, Cop – Aarrgh! (playing perps); Tales From Mega City One (three scenarios)
WD 92: Thrice Upon A Time In Mega City One (three scenarios)
WD 94: To Live And Die In Mega City One (scenario – part 1)
WD 95: To Live And Die In Mega City One (scenario – part 2)
WD 96: To Live And Die In Mega City One (scenario – part 3)

I don't think I've missed anything – have to add that going
through the box of mags I found my missing GWJD Slaughter Margin scenario book :)

Truly the Golden Age for White Dwarf, that period.

Ah yes, I remember the block wars boardgame, quality stuff.

Block Mania was it?

Just so you know, Mongoose Publishing gives their Judge Dredd rules away for free:

That's the minis game (which is a decent-enough skirmish game), not the Traveller-based RPG though. Which, incidentally is quite good. Not as good as the GW golden-age version though… It is a game I truly love!

@Angel Barracks

The Board game was indeed Block Mania and the Mega Mania (allowed for four player games). WD did an article that added additional units.

Yes, definitely the Golden Age. "Before the dark times,before the Empire".

In general, for listings of White Dwarf articles, try gamehobby.net

Cheers guys/gals! So it looks like, even with that gap in my collection, I do still have all of the WD articles. :)

@Mr Harold – Yep, got that. :) But as has been pointed out it's their fun skirmish game and not their RPG. I have a real soft spot for the old GW JD RPG and I never felt the urge to move on from that.

As for Block Mania I really regret selling my copies of both Block Mania and Mega Mania. :(
