Dragon Magazine #12 / 145

Dragon Magazine #145 (1989) arrives with a cover that sets an unmistakably dark and chivalric tone: a lone armored knight on a white horse approaches a brooding gothic castle, its rocky approach lined with skulls and skeletal remains, while circling birds haunt a crimson-tinged mountain sky. The tagline "A knight's home is his castle" adds a wry edge to this atmospheric scene. Inside, fans of Larry Elmore's beloved SnarfQuest strip will find the latest installment, plus a promised AD&D 2nd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide poster — a fine package for any fantasy gaming enthusiast of the era.
