    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.

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
