DEI Dungeon Explorers on the Internet

Mohow and Libea, off on an adventure! Where are you adventuring this weekend? Art by Sheryl England from Island Book 1. #ttrpg

I was at TSR back when Gary Gygax had to personally approve of every color piece before it could be used. But I kept getting my color work rejected. Once Erol Otus told me, “Use more red. Gary likes red,” I finally started getting my paintings approved.

Wanna West March a Sandbox with me?

@YoDanno We ran into one that grabbed my thief and extorted us for the lizard folk bodies from another part of the dungeon. While the party scurried off for the food, my thief talked to it and found that it was old and wanted to retire. 2 goats a month bought us security for our house.

Oh boy…..🙈

For anyone interested we have a vintage book club on discord. We vote for our book on the 1st of every month. If anyone wishes to join I will send you a link ⚔️

Do you remember the first role playing book you ever read? What was it?

@jamiu3808 That's a great thought! He would look good as a miniature.

@deidungeon This character design is really cool. Have you ever thought about seeing them as a 3D figure or collectible?

Cover of Dragon Magazine #2 by Tom Canty. The early covers had a certain rough charm, do you prefer this style of art, or the later, more polished art? #ttrpg

@cyberglum @DungeonNoir Indeed!

@deidungeon @DungeonNoir Someone really liked Barry Windsor-Smith.

@tiny_warfare Those are lovely! Thank you for sharing 🙏 I honestly like both kinds, they all have something to appreciate.

@deidungeon It’s hard not love the brilliant covers that came later from absolute masters of their craft. But it doesn’t stop me from appreciating earlier works like these. Tom Canty has a pretty impressive portfolio himself.

@A_DungeonDelver I agree, I like them all! Of course I have favorites. 😁

@deidungeon All are good. I can honestly not think of a cover of The Dragon/Dragon Magazine that I actively disliked, during its heyday.

The first dice I ever bought outside of the Red Box set were a Game Science set from my local game store back in 1989. These days, I’ve got at least a dozen sets of Game Science dice in my collection. RIP, Lou Zocci February 17, 1935 - April 15, 2026

Remember that guy on the D&D module back cover, who definitely wasn’t Elric? Remember he was holding the black magic sword that definitely wasn’t Stormbringer? I drew him again, in a spot of trouble, in the dank caverns under the White Plume Mountain.

DM: The hallway ends and from where you are standing you see a diving board. PlayerOne: This could be a trap. Can I check for traps? DM: It’s just a diving board. Player: I think I’ll go up to the diving board and see what is in the next room. DM: The party find themselves over a large vault. Inside of it is vast quantities of gold coins a gems, like an Olympic sized swimming pool and you see a ladder going down. PlayerTwo: WoooHoo! I’ve always wanted to do this… PlayerOne: Hold on! DM, can I do a perception check? I want to check the area below the diving board. DM: Fine… roll me a d20. PlayerOne: 14 total DM: Below there is the crumpled skeleton of an anthropomorphic duck, wearing a top hat. PlayerOne: I knew it was a trap.

Just a reminder, my sale is still going on, ends Thursday April 23rd. Let me tempt you with something special for your collection!

Seems Legit

This is awesome!! #Dragonlance

@TheMekon_Venus When I worked there in the early '80s it was pretty good. The veggies were fresh and they didn't cook it until you ordered.

Were Pizza Hut’s Pizza’s ever any good? I’ve never been a fan.
