General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
This image shows the classic D&D party: an group of evil, sadistic freebooters (regardless of what is written under "alignment" in their character sheets) assaulting a poor, old leper for the XP and his stuff. You can tell by their looks of murderous glee as the leper raises his gnarled hands in supplication, begging for mercy he will not find in the cold, greedy hearts of the PCs.
There are several appropriately old-school possible reasons for this:
a) The leper is actually a thief who will pickpocket the innocent PC's
b) The leper is actually a doppelganger who will kill and replace on of the PC's
c) Okay, he actually is just a leper, but just look at all those cp's in his cup!

It's a helmet. A poorly drawn helmet on a poorly drawn warrior, but a helmet nonetheless.

Favorite Settings: Love all of the official settings, Mystara is my nostalgia fave! Trying to create a homebrew that blends the best elements of the various settings. Favorite Edition: Can't decide between 3rd Edition and 4th Edition, like them both!

Indeed. Perhaps I'm missing the whole point of the thread--perhaps my irony meter is turned down way too low--but surely it's fairly obvious it's an elf with a helmet, isn't it? Perhaps the OP was simply suggesting, "Hey, this actually looks like a tiefling, lol!"???

Nothing about that picture shouts "elf" to me at all. The horns look like they are attached to the head and the black marks on the face look more like tattoos than a helmet.
If I was looking for an image of a tiefling it isnt that far off something I might use.
Feh, so tiefling's were always that horny eh? Am I the only one who thinks enormous goat horns make tieflings look more ridiculous than evil? How about we try other anatomical features common among barnyard animals? A big coat of sheepy wool? A chicken beak? Ooh! How about a curly piggy tail! Sheesh.

Did you know I can legally have you destroyed for speaking ill of classic Willingham art?!

meh It's a headdress that was very common in sorceresses drawings at the time. If I recall there should be a few of a wizard floating about with one like that sept the skullcap part is red.

Willingham got a lot better over the years, for fantasy check out Ironwood... if you're 18 or older and don't object to sexually explicit material, otherwise please ignore
