There's a HD spread for small dragons, and stats for large and huge dragons in the Companion Set rules, but I think Hill Giants are more a threat as a group

Although uncredited, this illustration from AC10 "Bestiary of Dragons and Giants" (1987) was likely done by Roger Raupp (compare the dragons to his illustration of a dragon from ICE's "Elemental Companion" (1989)

Raupp was mentioned in the review for AC10 in Dragon #148

M5 "Talons of Night" (1987) by Jennell Jaquays features extraplanar travel.

One of the outer planes is the World of Thorne, a concept Jaquays revisited in her cover illustration for Dragon #175 (November, 1991)

Love this article by Tom Moldvay in "The Dragon" #38 (June, 1980) and also the illustration by Darlene. Moldvay later used these ideas to create the Seven Realms in M3 "Twilight Calling" (1986). You can read more about them, here: osrgrimoire.blogspot.com/2024/12/m3-t...
