[QUOTE="Genghis Don, post: 9686289, member: 7037942"] "The cover is by Denis Beauvais and depicts a pair of knights battling on a multi-level chessboard." I liked this one a lot too "Ed Greenwood presents "The Ecology of the Slithering Tracker," offering fresh insight into this underutilized predator. Delivered as the notes of the wizard Aluthandee, the article describes the monster's appearance, hunting tactics, and reproduction.
