From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick.

I don't recognize the board. Which edition is that?

ReplyDeleteSeconded!!!
ReplyDeleteOtus' art in the original version that I had as a kid is everything I want out of Dungeony art. Everything.
ReplyDeleteJamey Crook is this the one you had? https://boardgamegeek.com/image/3033/dungeon
ReplyDeleteThat's the one Jay Exonauts! That game was a huge part of my youth. Those RIP markers were all over my house, eventually. Come to think of it, we got into D&D because my brother played Dungeon! at a party and wanted a copy and we got D&D by mistake...
ReplyDeleteJamey Crook That's the one that I had too -- my favorite box and board art. Loved everything about it. Otus didn't have a thing to do with it. Found out years ago it was all Jim Roslof's work! (I was totally under the impression it was Otus too, BTW.) https://sites.google.com/site/zenopusarchives/home/artists-of-holmes-basic/jim-roslof-art-bibliography
