I've enjoyed watching how the art has evolved from edition to edition. I think 5e has some great work (as have all editions).

Caldwell's dragons are very distinct. It's one of the easiest ways to recognize his work.

He had some great Dragon covers. This one is my favorite:

With Easley and Elmore being mentioned, the other half of the "Big 4" from the AD&D days need to be mentioned. Clyde Caldwell has some truly iconic work (my favorite being the original Ravenloft cover). I also really admire Keith Parkinson's work. His color choices create a realism that...

I really enjoy his work as well.

I hadn't heard Grip's name before, but I looked him up and I definitely recognize his work. Great style. I really dig the dark aspect of it.

I'm a huge fan of fantasy art. I try to get signed prints from all of my favorite artists and display them in my home. Fantasy art has never been given the recognition it deserves (although some of Frazetta's originals have sold for a ton of $$$, but I feel like he is a special case). I'm...

I was just getting ready to start a Ravenloft campaign for some friends. The timing couldn't be better!

Interesting idea. I like the concept, and I applaud anyone who looks to "old" Ravenloft for inspiration. The only question I would have is how she is able to work against Strahd. His other "brides" are vampire spawns, so I assume that's what your Patrina is as well (hence her desire to become...

My favorite image of him was always the one in the 3e Book of Vile Darkness. Jeremy Jarvis was the artist, I believe. I felt like it really showed the evil in him.

The recent UA with Gothic Lineages just screams that they're prepping for Ravenloft, in my opinion. A Van Richten's Guide to Undead and/or Werebeasts would be nice as well, though I don't necessarily expect it.

Hey, just noticed that 3 of the 2nd ed Volo's Guides are available for print on demand! Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast Volo's Guide to Waterdeep Volo's Guide to Cormyr Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate II was already available, but I'll list it here just to be complete.

This has really ballooned into more than I expected it to. I just felt that their stats and abilities were lower than what they are hyped up to be. Yes, a creative DM (which I consider myself to be after nearly 30 years of DM'ing) can easily get around such an issue. Also, yes, hags are...

Bingo.

I'm confused about hags. They're supposed to be these horrid, evil creatures who have fearsome magical powers and can put curses on people, causing pain and despair throughout entire villages, etc... From the Monster Manual: "All hags possess magical powers, and some have an affinity for...

This is really cool. Lots of potential here :)

I hadn't decided before I posted the thread. That was why I posted it, to see if resistance to a new system was too high to be worth putting the effort into creating a new one. After seeing the responses, I decided it was worth it.
