e ON THE COVER

Matt Morrow illustrates a bustling halfling market, complete with

pl
produce stands and a local entertainer. Merchants bring wares
from miles around to this cozy forest glade, to trade with locals
and visiting adventurers alike.

Disclaimer: When making a purchase, always read the fine print. Like you’re doing now! Good on you. Since you took the time to look, you should be aware that all sales are final, and any curses that may or may not
accompany certain magic items are considered a complimentary addition to your purchase. After buying an ominous magical item, fully expect the merchant to have vanished on second glance, taking their stall and wares
along with them to some uncertain outer plane. Feel free to interpret such occurrences as dire portents; or don’t! It’s your money, after all, and the customer is always right.
