Dragon #354 cover (hot modron action)

[sckeener]

Ok...that is now my desktop background....too sweet.

I'm tempted to print it and hang it in my cube.

Though given that style, some part of me is morbidly curious to see a modron drawn by HR Giger.

Morbid imagination. Now I've got images of female Iron Golems drawn by Giger in my head.

They've always looked like that.

Not when they first appeared in the 1E MMII. . .

Yep. I prefer the organic looking creatures of the old design, there are too many damn mechanical things in this game!

 

[Dragonbait]

That cover has so many levels of cool.

 

[Nightfall]

Now THAT'S a great cover.

Is this one better, then?

My eyes, my eyes!

I'm gonna sue: That kind of 'orrible imagery needs to have at least three posts warning.

LOL! That's excellent.

Planescape and DiTerlizzi made the modrons look cool and rendered them usable in a game. The ridiculous MMII drawings just made us all laugh in the 80s.

Arggghh. I tire of the April issues comedic "value". I don't subscribe to suffer through bad jokes. Not that I've seen more of this issue. Just a feeling I got after briefly viewing that cover.

I just recently used modrons in the finale of my "Out ofthe Frying Pan" campaign and used an organic model for them based on 1E MMII - all sorts of D&D creatures are "silly" or can be viewed that way - but it is all in how you use them.

Still, appreciate the illustration, just doesn't fit my view of modrons.
