    May 1980 The Dragon feature a module, a special inclusion, or some other out-of-the- ordinary ingredient. It’s still a bargain when you stop to think that a regular commercial module, purchased separately, would cost even more than that—and for your three bucks, you’re getting a whole lot of magazine besides. It should be pointed out that subscribers can still get a year’s worth of TD for only $2 per issue. Hint, hint . And now, on to the good news.

  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles.

    — The Magazine of Fantasy, Swords & Sorcery, and Science Fiction Game Playing — This issue marks the beginning of the new assistant editor’s tenure, and his touch is already evident. I won’t detail his innovations, nor will I detail which are mine; This new combined format is a combined effort. Other than various ad- ministrative duties, the only division of labor that we practice is that I tend to read and validate the historical pieces, as my background in history is more extensive than his. At the end of this piece, I have asked Jake to write a little introductory bit to give you, the readers, an idea of both where he is coming from, and what you can expect from him. His joining the magazine has already been advantageous. As can be expected with any infusion of new ideas, we already have dozens of plots and schemes simmering away, all designed to improve the quality of the magazine and to sell more copies of it. Vol. III, No. 12 June, 1979 This issue marks the introduction, or re-introduction in some cases, of some FEATURES different components of the magazine. We have returned the old FEATURED CREATURE, having renamed the column THE DRAGON’S BESTIARY. This System 7 Napoleonics — system analysis . 4 will now become a regular monthly feature. If you note this month’s entry care- Giants in the Earth — fictitious heros . 13 fully, you will note a new authenticity. GIANTS IN THE EARTH is another new D&D, AD&D, and Gaming — Sorcerer’s Scroll . 28 entry, designed to add some spice to your D&D or AD&D campaign.
