Other than perhaps the various AD&D core books (yellow/orange spine) I find little that can inspire me more than the art of the classic AD&D module series from TSR.  Today I'm going to give you my favorite 10 images from those heady days.  Enjoy! How beautiful is this classic Erol Otus drow priestess?  Sublime! When I think of giants in D&D, this is what always comes to mind. Thank you Bill Willingham, and also thanks for showing me that my tanks don't need pants! Classic good vs. evil by Jeff Dee!  Did he ever do a Kickstarter for this one?...

If you think you can build terrain for your D&D campaign, just take a look at these insane builds and you'll feel a bit less awesome, but at least you've got something to shoot for! Also remember, the bulk of these are Dwarven Forge sets, so help support the cause by joining AotG's Hidden Valoria Kickstarter or Dwarven Forges Castles Kickstarter!    

An interesting quandry, no?  All I remember is my first experience with a druid was the Darrell K Sweet image from Wishsong of Shannara.   I was so moved by it, I created an AD&D druid character named Belmarillian who would eventually go on to become the most powerful character in the Nameless Realms, and always I kept him just like Sweet's Allanon version, cloaked, mysterious, and bigger than life.

Lords of Lankhmar... I have this module, I've never played it, but by god I've stared at this cover long enough to say that I've mastered it heart and soul! Pretty sure this one is called...

Its hard to find a gamer who doesn't like Larry Elmore.  In fact, I've yet to meet one in all my years in the industry.  He's just a great guy, and, like many male artist, he does an astounding job representing what chauvinistic male gamer's love, which is to say cheesecake.  So in honor of the 'Ladies of Larry', AND to showcase some of the incredible prints he's currently got on 20% sale on his website, I'll offer you my thoughts on some outstanding women he's produced over the years. Honorable Mention: I got to see this painting 'Caylinn's Journey'...
