ON THE COVER
On most of our recent anniversary covers, we've been fotunate to have great dragons by veteran TSR illustrator Jeff Easley.  This is another of those years.  For the past two decades, Jeff's dragons have defined the genre as they soared and roared at us from game boxes, book covers and more.  If you missed our interview with Jeff in "ProFiles," issue #254, this would be a good time to pull that issue off the shelf.
