RIP Dave Trampier.
Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
...whaaaat? Another great one has passed??

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