Old Dragon Issues

[Arondight]

Good evening, I am looking for a couple of old 80's Dragon mags, not sure about the number but they had the chessboard theme going.
Thanks,
Arondight

Disregard, just found the information!

I'm looking for a short story that was in a Dragon mag in either 1986 or 87.
The story is about a girl who plays a video game "online" (this is before the internet was around) and hunts for a treasure that wins her a prize in the real world.

any thoughts??

thanks

Issue #97, May 1985. Article was called Catacomb by Henry Melton. This is my favorite short story in Dragon.

Is that the one with the yak-thing that steps in the spilled contact poison and dies, or am I just smoking too much old asbestos fiber?
