D&D: Dragon+ Issue 13 – The Endeavor Issue
There’s a new issue of Dragon+ out, and it’s endeavoring to add depth to your game…
First though, let’s talk about the cover. I don’t want to hear a peep of negativity–that is some amazing artwork. Talk about mixed media, that whole design is pretty inspired. Some might even say it’s a pretty sweet cover.
Anyway, enough about that. This issue of Dragon+ talks a lot about adventuring. You coudl also think of this as the Tales from the Yawning Portal issue, because a centerpiece of the magazine is a piece of fiction and an interview or art gallery or the like associated with each of the seven dungeons from that book. You’ll also find a look at D&D Beyond and some of the other digital products Wizards has cooking.
On with the show:
