The Beastmaster and Excalibur are both incredible movies. I just wanted to mention this (true) fact.

Read the first 8(!) pages of Kor-Drath the Reckoning here! Plus, take a look at the RPG game!

Andy Smith has done page 45 of 76 already. S, things are going well and the book is on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

This is what I have for Dungeon Crawl Classics so far (plus a set of their weird dice).



Lately I've been playing three times a week with my various groups. We have Call of Cthulhu and Forbidden Lands weekly plus D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2E on alternate weeks. We use Discord and Foundry VTT which isn't as good as in-person IMO, but its easier to get people together that way.

Several of the games we've been playing over the last few years have been streamed on Twitch and uploaded to YouTube. Here are the links, if anyone is interested. I'm not in all the games, but there are a lot of great players in this little circle.

Oh, we did a Marvel Super-Heroes campagin with the old '80s TSR rules and the Days of Future Past timeline. Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... zXVigrNbUl

We randomly rolled our characters. I played Buzzkill, a teenage street kid with electrical powers.

Here's all my DCC stuff, minus my Empire of the East hardcover which has gone MIA. Not sure where it could be, I have looked everywhere I keep books and just can't find it. I know I had it in recent months, just not sure where it got to. Argh, been looking all week with little success.

I'd like to assemble a regular online game, but I'd probably have to be the GM and have very low experience with RPGs, so it probably wouldn't be the best.

Trevor, if you're still looking for more info on DCC, I think this video series by Jorphdan is the best I've seen --

This is excellent, Marcus.

Ralph Bakshi has been posting production art on Twitter of the past few years. I have probably posted some of these before but they never get old... Mike Ploog on Wizards! Some of my favorite stuff ever.

That last one is super cool since I don't recall him drawing the robot in any other piece -- a little closer up:

They killed Fritz!

I missed this the first time around -- basically, it seems like he loves the aesthetic of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards (as do I). Not the Ploog concepts drawings as much, but the actual animation.

Ploog's concept art is majestic.

I also loved the movie Wizards as a teenager.

Here's one for Nagoo, by JP Targete.

Looks like a fun D&D type cartoon. It's from the dude who did Primal and Samurai Jack.

I can hardly wait. May the 4th, be with us all.

NICE!

So I've been into the aesthetic of Dungeon Crawl Classics and the whole OSR RPG thing for the past several years. There was this particular look the artists go for that I really like but I never really knew who inspired it all. Until yesterday.

It's an artist named Dave Trampier. I absolutely love this stuff, it's got that gritty underground look I love.

So I'm checking him out and man, what an interesting story. He was one of the top artists at D&D and then in the late 80s, the guy disappears. He doesn't even cash his last several royalty checks, he just left without a trace. So you would imagine he's dead, right? But wrong, he's discovered in the early 2000s driving a cab! He doesn't want anything to do with art or RPGs, despite being a very beloved figure in that world. Finally, in his final days, the guy relents and starts coming back into RPGs and art... and then gets cancer! Cripes, what a tragedy. Poor dude was only 59.

Man. If only Nagoo told me, LOL!

Yep, Dave Trampier. That stuff is burned into my brain.

The next time Amazon does one of there Buy2 Get 3 book sales, consider picking up Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: A Visual History:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399580948/?tag=imwan-20

Should be a lot of his work in there.

I bought that when it first came out.

I probably saw his name but didn't register it in my brain.
