AD&D 2e Dragon Magazine #226 Feb 1996 Being a DM VG
Published in 1996, this issue of Dragon Magazine for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition is in Very Good condition: Heavy whitening on back cover. Light browning to page edges, otherwise clean. Very slight musty smell. 1996 TSR product schedule still attached.
The February 1996 issue of Dragon Magazine includes the following articles:

- "Campaign Classics: The Magical Sands of Zakhara," pp. 80-83. Al-Qadim. When your world is surrounded by sand, that becomes the tool you use. These wondrous sands were once the exclusive possessions of sha'irs.
- "Dot to Dot," pp. 36-40. They may all look alike on the map, but not all cities are identical. Don't make all your towns clones of each other.

About Me
Hail and well met! Welcome to Hieroglyphs Books! I've been a gamer for 20 years (wow, that's scary!), and so you can be sure that I'm describing items accurately as to condition and contents. I've used most of the modules and books myself, so I know what's supposed to be there.
I work full-time in addition to selling books on eBay, so please be patient if you don't receive an immediate response from me. I do try to ship items the next day after payment is received, though that may not always be possible. Condition Description
I try to describe my items as clearly as possible, so you understand exactly what you are bidding on.

- Mint: Shrinkwrap has been removed, or shrinkwrap is damaged. There are no material faults with the cover and the pages.
