Kreel torrn, or "leapers," ambush two well-armed humans as their triphant clears a path through a Gamma World jungle (Roger Raupp art, I believe, for "Mutant Manual II," Dragon magazine 108, April 1986). After TSR bought out SPI, Ares magazine was soon discontinued but its name was used for a section in the back of Dragon with sci-fi and superhero RPG content.

"Poetry is the supreme killjoy"
Translated from the Spanish
Poetry is the supreme killjoy
The awkward guest sitting in the corner
Observing others, the one who can't get into it, who bores easily, thinks
she'd rather be home
The one who'll take a drink right from your hand and always bums smokes
The first one to dance and then end up crying
The one who steals kisses from boys and girls, the one who slurs her words
and can't walk straight, the one who's spun
Who gets kicked out and comes back
Happy, more excited now
The last to leave when the party's over
The first to arrive when the party's over
The broken cup, the puddled floor, the vomit on the leather sofa, the cigarette burn on the tablecloth and on arms, the one-night stand, the hangover, the hickey, the regret, the new love, the morning-after pill, your three kids, the mortgaged apartment, the hustle, the bank debt, the used car, the stability, the confidence in growing older, the midlife crisis, the end of love, the chill old age, your burial.
Poetry is all the parties.
—Tilsa Otta, translated from the Spanish by Farid Matuk (Poetry Magazine, December 2023)

"Why is this Mutant Smiling? New body parts in Gamma World gaming" -- Jeff Butler art for John M Maxstadt's article in the Ares section of Dragon 96, April 1985. After TSR bought out SPI and its assets, including Ares magazine, Dragon included an Ares section with its own separate credits distinct from the main Dragon credits. Somehow Butler's name was missing from both in this issue.
