Dragons Can Only Rust
''Dragons Can Only Rust'' is a novel by Chris Cymri published by TSR in 1995. Plot summary ''Dragons Can Only Rust'' is a novel about a dragon named Gonard who was created in a laboratory, using artificial intelligence to think and speak and become self-aware. Reception Jonathan Palmer reviewed ''Dragons Can Only Rust'' for ''Arcane'' magazine, rating it a 3 out of 10 overall. Palmer comments that "I waded through this literary quagmire in search of Gonard's soul and couldn't find it. Couldn't find anybody's soul. I rather thought Gonard had found as much soul as he was ever going to find simply by looking for it. This is what Itsa thinks, too, and this intuitive character expresses a valid point well, on several occasions. Maybe this reflects the view of the author. If so, then hates off, Zen on; but if it's so simple, why write about it?"

TSR (company)
TSR, Inc. was an American game publishing company, best known as the original publisher of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D''). Its earliest incarnation, Tactical Studies Rules, was founded in October 1973 by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye. Gygax had been unable to find a publisher for ''D&D'', a new type of game he and Dave Arneson were co-developing, so founded the new company with Kaye to self-publish their products. Needing financing to bring their new game to market, Gygax and Kaye brought in Brian Blume in December as an equal partner. ''Dungeons & Dragons'' is generally considered the first tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG), and established the genre. When Kaye died suddenly in 1975, the Tactical Studies Rules partnership restructured into TSR Hobbies, Inc. and accepted investment from Blume's father Melvin. With the popular ''D&D'' as its main product, TSR Hobbies became a major force in the games industry by the late 1970s. Melvin Blume eventually transferred his shares to his ...
