As we quickly approach the end of 1986 there is still time for a couple of modules, another entry in the Endless Quest series and, of course, an issue of Dragon magazine. This time we have an unusual cover, as instead of the usual illustration we get some miniature photography (maybe not so mini, as the inside of the magazine tells us the figure is actually several feet long). 

In terms of theme this month we get a lot of articles on Sea Voyages, there’s a good variety of maritime themed articles here with pieces on several types of ships, another one on Sea Elves, a little bestiary of maritime life and an article on mail delivery which includes mail sea routes. Finally in this issue you get a little model of a ship to build for your own campaigns.

Of course the whole magazine isn’t about sea stuff, and you get an “Ecology of” article on Minotaurs, a teleport gem created by Ed Greenwood, an article on ordinary animals (i.e. not monsters) in TTRPGs, and of course the usual smattering of articles on games other than D&D.
