I never get sick of 50’s dinosaur art.

I never get sick of 50’s dinosaur art. This book is typically goofy, except for what may be one of the first illustrations of a sauropod whacking an laelaps/allosaurus/dryptosaurus. It looks quite surprised!

    I had this book. Thanks for the flashback! If there was a dino book made for kids in the 70s, I had it. Even if it was just a book on reptiles that had 2 pages of dinosaurs in it, I had it.

    Sadly, they are all gone. I wish I had kept them all. As well as my old Turok comics.

    I had this too...recognized all that art. Feathered Dinos may be cool. But they will never be 50s-era look-like-poses-from-a-stop-action-film cool.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
