Monsters of Arabia
by Wolfgang Baur
Six new monsters pulled from the depths of Arabian myth and legend. Match your players against the demonic three-armed stone asag, the mischievous and cruel flying monkey, or the stoic golden clockwork eunuch.
Plus!
The Ecology of the Kraken, part two of Wormfood, and of course, Class Acts, Bazaar of the Bizarre, Spellcraft, First Watch, Scale Mail, Sage Advice, and comics.
My first issue after resubscribing to Dragon after a twenty-two year pause in my subscription. Had a negative impression of the magazine since 3rd edition came out, which was quickly disspelled.
The Fires of Alchemy was extremely useful and almost immediately adopted into my game. I'm going to use the map of Crimmor for another City in my campaign and I adopted two of the spells from Spellcraft. Class Acts is too short, but overall, the magazine was well worth the money.
