Certainly not this cover though it is better art than many of Dragon Magazines lamentable Covers from issue #1 onward. Not caring about the underlying system makes these post-modern D&D magazines, now pre-5e mid-regeneration issues easy for me to shred for the content, or what I can find of it. Good luck with that I say with highlights of irony and sarcasm. 1e was a masterpiece, people without half the talent, luck or what-have-you kept and keep trying to improve it. There has always been plenty of farce and silly in D&D but when 3e came out it certainly made me feel to old for the game and now that I am really to old I don't care anymore. While I scavenge ideas from anywhere I found them 3e took the game in places I was sad to see it go, lots of big swords and armor with masterworks, and dire this and that. I have the CD-Roms with the first 250 Dragon issues. Normally I like to plod on from issue to issue in sequence but my life and collection of books and gaming material has been very randomized lately. I'm jumping around with these Dragon issues. I'm not particularly partial to Dragons so it isn't my favorite piece he has done, but I do like his style. The original art is much, much better than the blow-up they used for the Cover.
