	Description Edit \| History

Vol. IX No. 11 of Dragon Magazine.

Cover Art: It should come as no surprise that Jack Crane does a lot of detailed, engineering-type illustrations when he's not painting covers for DRAGON Magazine. He used his technical skills and his painting skills to come up with "Andragon," depicting a basement-sized do-it-yourself kit that will amaze your friends and neighbors - and maybe even your mom. (from the contents page)

This issue featured Nogard - the annual April Fool's section, and the ARES Section - 16-page spotlight on SF Gaming, which included a center pull-out map of the Ginny's Delight starship.
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.
