October: Dragon 300
The next issue of Dragon Magazine presents a landmark in roleplaying publishing: Dragon Magazine issue #300! To celebrate the occasion, we're getting dark. Monte Cook discusses sex, drugs, torture, and cannibalism; we present some new spells that are so vile their section of the magazine must be sealed; dragons from Hell; official D&D templates for wights, wraiths, and mummies; and ecologies return with an in-depth look at the mummy.
