There is, on his main website you can order individual issues (earlier ones)

Derrick Barrows

I love your content! I'm so sad I have to cancel for now (money tight, no dnd group, life) I hope to pick it back up in the future. Your magazine is a great value and I've enjoyed every one of them. Keep up the great work. Hopefully I can support again in the future.

dndshorts

Totally understand Derrick, thanks for all your support! Appreciate you, hope to see you again one day!

Keenir

keep up the great work!

Your content is amazing, especially your options for monk. Friend of mine used that and he couldn’t get enough. Do you do ranger? lol

Sgurd Olson

How do I get back issues, you had mentioned a revenant class in a video that I wanted to take a look at

dndshorts

All older Issues are available on the website dndshorts.com !

dndshorts

I will definitely make an upgrade to the 2024 ranger as soon as the new rules drop into Creative Commons haha

Chris Hawthorne

Where do you get the previous 3 issues of the magazine, that are included with the tiered Patreon membership?

dndshorts

They are on this post! This post is updated each month with the last three month's of content, so you can immediately download everything here (you can click the links to each magazine depending on your tier of subscription)

Νίκος Γιαπής

Thank you for the great content. I am a new patreon member and I have two questions. Is there a subscription tier where I can see all past magazine issues? Also are all of your homebrew adventures on these magazines or is there more content elsewhere?

dndshorts

the homebrew adventures are at the end of each magazine, and all previous magazines are available on dndshorts.com - they leave Patreon and move there after three months! You can get the previous 3 months free when you join though, in addition to the free issue linked on this post!

Likeablejerk

Dang, I bought all 1-36 the back issues of DMSW and then became a patron, only to realize that the three I could see are 38, 39, and 40. I'll find a way to you, Wayfinder ranger!

Unisama

When I click on April's pack, it just takes me to the main feed :( I am bad at downloading magazines right away, is there a way to obtain april?

Ex78

So long time fan of your YouTube and finally started to pick up your magazine. I was curious when issue 40 will be available on your site . As well as did your magazine switch to 2024 rules and if so at what issue did that jump take place

dndshorts

Hey Ex! Issues 40+ will go up on the website soon, we're just switching PDF supply apps and want to be sure there's no glitching or anything (hoping to sort it this month!) Regarding 2024 rules, for creations that interact explictly with new rules (like the Battlemage Sorcerer) I've included a section on having them work with the 2014 rules too!

Jonathan Cloud

Heyo, I was subscribed at Behir level until like a week ago, and I'm planning on subscribing again when I get this new job next month, but I got a link sent to my email for the ignis monk, and I had already unsubscribed for budgeting reasons, is it possible to still get a copy of that issue or should I wait until next month? 🥲

dndshorts

Drop me a patreon direct message if you missed an issue you were subscribed for! I can send anything direct that was on for the dates you were subscribed, and can double check the dates for you if needed

Jayson Holovacs

Do you have an example of the monthly compilation magazine we can get if we subscribe to the adult red dragon tier?

Centaurus20

does anyone have the magazine number 15? Ive tried to find it on the website and for some reason it has disappeared. If anyone has it, send me a message, and im willing to buy a copy

dndshorts

Yes! Check out the Free Issue linked at the top of this post (Issue 30!)

dndshorts

I took it down as it used stock art (from shutterstock, which we were using at the time) that I came to suspect was possibly AI - despite shutterstock's ToS banning any AI art! Those stock image sites became completely unusable around last year due to being infested with AI art, despite their claims that they fight against it, they don't, and it's constantly mislabeled. That's why I was so grateful to be able to go 100% original art on everything last year! In short, it'll be back up soon when we get a chance to create custom art for it, because I don't want to risk promoting/using any AI in the magazine, even if it's only a small chance. I simply don't trust shutterstock's moderation and have grown far more zealous in being aware of AI art sneaking onto those platforms since 2022, back when it wasn't really a known thing yet. (The covers have always been original art, btw, the art piece I'm unsure of was an image of a D&D style monk in the Dragon Pack section!)

Centaurus20

Thank you for getting back to me on that, yeah AI is getting out of hand and Im glad you guys are doing custom art for it. Hope things go well for you guys. Ive done like 6 one shots from this and i love doing them. Keep up the good work.

RE

Were Magazines #s 40 and 41 taken down for a similar reason? I'd love to buy those off the store, but they're not there.

Centaurus20

I don't even know what 40 and 41 are

dndshorts

no issues 40 and 41 are just pending because I changed PDF supplier and need to make sure it's working before charging people for them haha!

Dom P

I haven't been able to find #39 or #40. Been subbed since #10 >.<

Reuben Smith

Is there a Patreon level that gives access to all previous GM's Secret Weapon issues? I was thinking about subscribing, but some of the issues I'm interested in fall outside the 3-month window for dragon and behir.

dndshorts

They'll appear on the website soon for individual purchase - we're just undergoing a redesign at the moment which is delaying them going up! There's a lot of older issues there still at dndshorts.com

Tanner Hermanson

I was going through my email and downloading the pdf's of the Dragon editions to my new computer for use in an upcoming game. The pdf links on some of the issues resulted in 404 errors. The following issues were unavailable: 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46. The links for all other issues going back to the mid 20's were fine.

Fischer Spieth

Oh, perfect! I was just about to ask when these can be expected to show up on the website! Though I do still have the question: What magazine volume is the first with 2024 rules?

dndshorts

That's really unusual - sorry to hear that, typically the posts rotate off patreon at that time, if you send me a direct message on Patreon I can look into it and send you the missing magazines directly if needed!

bragt

i see ive missed dowloading a issue, does anyone know what sublcass was covered in issue 46? i wanna know if i at least read it.

dndshorts

Issue 46 was the Spiritfarer Cleric! If you were subscribed at the time but forgot to download it, send me a DM and I'll send the issue over directly!

Testifina

It looks like Expansion #54 - Nexus Rogue may be the wrong version, and wasn't updated when you updated the other link. I downloaded the newer link you posted and that looks very different

Alison the squid

Hey, came here from the CALM's Saving Throw fundraiser. As soon as I saw it I was like oh cool, a no-brainer. As you said, 'If you're a person who helps people and likes D&D, this is a slam dunk.' Thank you for donating your material and sharing the news about the fundraiser. You're a good egg. -From a fellow UK-based DM who helps people :)

Jonathan Collins

I'm new to your patreon and was wondering what are the rules regarding using your sub-classes in DnD Beyond? I manily play online and wanted to use on your sub-classes. I found some in the home-brew section, many are similar to the ones you've created is that on purpose? thank you in advance.

Sean Dunham

I have the dragon packs, but didn't think to download the Behir packs for my players. It won't let me do it from here, and the emails are gone. How can I fix this?

dndshorts

The behir packs are identical to the dragon packs, except they don't ahave the 2nd half of the magazine! They include the Subclass, Race, Feats, Magics Items, Spells, and the standard variation of the map! In short, by having the dragon pack, you have the Behir Pack in full, and then you get more! The reason you can't access those posts as a Dragon Tier Patreon is to do with Patreon's dumb system, but it's to prevent you getting double notified each month!

OmegaDeathBunny

I just joined the party. Is there anywhere I can purchase the previous issues of DM's Secret Weapon?

dndshorts

Absolutely! You can find the past three months attached to this post, and you can find a free issue linked at the bottom if this post! If you want any older issues, every issue is also for sale at dndshorts.com so you can pick up whatever ones you like!
