    Someone should at least get some local news coverage on this. He'd completely walked away from his art and gaming years ago, but jeez, what an impact.

    Arguably one of the best illustrators of the early TSR era. Definitely my favorite. The tone illustration of the dwarves and hobbits going down some stairs with the magic mouth in the wall is my favorite 1E illo ever - again a Trampier piece.

    Best player's manual cover of them all. Killing that thing and taking its shit. This is why we game.

So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
