Love when this happens...

Running TOR.

That's what he gets for trying to spit poison clouds on people's faces.

Well, you can. You just have to make a really, really, really hard decision. ;)

Now I'm not sure if you meant Dark Sun's Brom or Planescape's DiTerlizzi. Brom is definitely the face of Dark Sun, while DiTerlizzi set the tone for Planescape. I do find it interesting though, that most people seem to forget DiTerlizzi's importance in the Monstrous Manual. It was absolutely...

It's pretty much a done deal that the list comes out as: 1 - Elmore 2 - Otus 3 - Easley The question asked in the topic of the poll does bias the responses toward the earlier artists, since you probably can't call someone "Quintessential" if his influence is that of a latecomer instead of a...

Tramp's Lizard-man is awesome. I also love DiTerlizzi's more crocodilian look (as opposed to Tramp's more ophidian one).

Elmore running away with it so far.

I deliberately did not put Lord Soth's charge as the sample for Parkinson. It's unfair for the other artists. :)

He is my favorite fantasy artist of all time. What a tragic loss.

Well, considering Elmore, Easley and maybe others used that one....Jack is well represented! ;)

Well, here's a sample from each artist. Greg Bell Tracy Lesch Dave Sutherland Erol Otus Dave Trampier Darlene Jeff Dee Jeff Easley Larry Elmore Clyde Caldwell Keith Parkinson Daniel Horne Fred Fields Brom Tony DiTerlizzi Robh Ruppel Jennell Jaquays...

Probably my main omission from the list. Sorry about that.

Hence allowing three picks. If you want you can do one for, call it "Early D&D", then one for "AD&D" and one for "Late D&D". The question is almost an impossible one, I know, but it's still an interesting thing to see what kind of artists come to mind instantly when someone says "D&D art".

BTW, not sure if this should be here or in D&D General, feel free to move the topic if there's a more appropriate location for it.

This is a remake of one of my earliest posts on ENWorld AM (Anno Morrus). In that original post I made a lot of mistakes, including lesser known artists (mostly due to them being more prominent at the time of 3E) and forgetting giants of the past. This one should be better, and let's see what...

Very much this. Running Star Wars D6 just felt very much like being in the movies. When I tried running SW D20, I quickly found out it was a pretty good Sci-fi system, but was extremely poor at doing Star Wars. It felt clunky in all the places it should've felt fluid (in order to recreate the...

Well, with respect, if he can't add up those numbers in a few seconds, your pilot may have bigger problems. Not to mention the fact that those huge rolls are not at all the norm, unless you are at the very end of a long campaign and your characters have specs at 10-15d. The only character I've...

In more than 25 years of running WEG (and even playing a couple times) I've never encountered this issue. I guess the guys I game(d) with were unusually good with addition. :D Speed of resolution was not the issue that slowed down D20 games. It was all the tactical positioning and planning...
