	Description Edit \| History

Cover art: Artist Larry Elmore portrays Darra Winn, the proprietor of Ravens Bluff's Ice House, and employees.

This issue featured Torrand's Tribulations - An AD&D adventure for 6 level 0 hirelings.
A ballot for the Origins Awards 1989 was on the inside of the front mailing cover, and a ballot for the GAMERS' CHOICE Awards of 1990 was on both sides of the back mailing cover.

There were numerous errors on the contents page: 'The New Rogues Gallery' was not listed, 'The Living City' was listed on page 27 instead of 28, 'A Magical Contest' was listed on page 31 instead of 27, and 'Fantasy Photos' was listed on page 30 instead of 31.
