I've stepped away from The Dragon Mags for a bit... there was just too much other stuff to get to.
Dragon #8 suffers from some sloppy editing. It's forgivable tho. It was literally cut n' paste back in the day.
Still, we get a nice article on The Planes. Damn thing was a real PITA to try and upload ;)

Of course, the article on the Development of Towns in D&D just the above article in half... why? But wait, the second part of the Planes article cuts the Town article in half. Sigh.
About 10 pages to part one of a serialized piece of fiction. 10 pages out of 32. I'm not even counting ads. Where's the gaming stuff?
There is a intro to Gamma World, but it's basically another page of fiction.
Rob Kuntz gives us a Gem and Jewelry table. Tables rock! We can even roll carat size.
The Featured Creature was actually a name and design contest. Here's the Erol Otus art. Got a name for it?
More Metamorphosis Alpha. Apparently they expected it to be a bigger hit.
Eh. Far from a great issue, but there's a few gems in the mix.
