Some of its guardians have sharp claws ‘and big teeth, as you éa Mark Nelson's’ cover painting. It Crept Up On Us We never actually plan on a theme for any issue of DUNGEON? Adventures, but sometimes a theme creeps up on tus when we aren't looking. In surveying the contents of this Sssue before it goes to press, I notice that we might eall this our “Strong Females” issue, and we even found an appropriate quotation. PCs who take up “An Artist's Errand” encounter Cosette, a strong character (of any gender) from a race that takes a back seat to no one. In “All Things Nico,” Leishan the thief has not really “gone straight.” Her cover as a merchant is just an ex- use for robbing unsuspecting customers in a more subtle way. “Rudwilla’s Stew” gives us two feuding erones, neither of whom itis safe to cross. Noblewoman-turned-mage Irinia has a serious problem in “Prism Keep.” The PCs’ problems will be ‘equally serious if they fail to see through her deceptions. Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that our cover price has gone up by 20 cents a copy. This is the first price increase in ‘ore than seven years of publieation, even though material land labor costs have soured. Subscription prices have not gone uup, so maybe you should think about having DUNGEON Ad- ventures delivered to your home. It’s an even better deal now. Last, but certainly not least, we wave goodbye to Roger ‘Moore, who has moved down the hall at TSR to become produet-group leader of the AD&D® product line. As editor of DRAGON® Magazine and assistant editor of DUNGEON Ad- ‘ventures, Roger has been a mainstay of our department, and ‘wo will all miss him. Worst of all, Roger took Bud (our life-size soft-sculpture teenager) to his new office. See Roger's editorial in DRAGON #199 for the teary farewell. ‘There are a few new names on our masthead, but nothing, ‘much has really changed about the way we edit and publish DUNGEON Adventures.
