	Description Edit \| History

Vol. X No. 5 of Dragon Magazine.

Cover Art: "The Pillage of Tantlin" is another in a long line of paintings we've published that illustrate the imagination and artistic skill of Dean Morrissey, who's being doing artwork for us since these gnomes were knee-high to a kobold. What will the guy in the foreground do when he runs out of rocks to step on? Well, he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it... (from the contents page)

This issue featured Valley of the Earth Mother - An AD&D game adventure for 4-6th level characters, and the regular ARES Section - 16-page spotlight on SF Gaming.
It also listed the "Gamers' Guide," which was an index of all the advertising in the issue and "Coming Attractions," a list of new products from TSR.
