With a great cover, issue 6 of The Dragon is not particularly heavy in terms of D&D content, with a couple of large articles on James M. Ward’s Science Fiction TTRPG Metamorphosis Alpha, the first Sci-Fi game of the kind, as well as a large Painting Guide for Empire of the Petal Throne miniatures, there is not much space left.

Some of that space is also taken up by the fiction articles, one of them not related to D&D, Morno’s The Forest of Flame, and the other being the sixth installment of Gygax’s Greyhawk set The Gnome Cache. So that last one is D&D content, at least. However, D&D players don’t come out of this issue with only this fictional chapter.

There is an article on Sea Trade in D&D campaigns, setting out rules on how to set up a shipping business, basically… which is of questionable usefulness for the average D&D player or DM, but you know… someone might conceivably use the game as a sea trade simulator… for some reason. Other articles cover Psionics rules and Morale rules. Finally and more exciting than these two articles you get a cool new creature with a full page painting of it, the Death Angel, a single minded envoy of death, set on killing a specific target. Light on D&D content, but still fun.
