No apologies! It's worth reposting. It's an awesome painting, and from the period I had a subscription, so it has extra meaning for me.

Heh… I posted that one here…about a lifetime ago, it feels like :) I swear this thread is on the third or fourth lap at this point…

I have to admit, my immediate reaction was exactly the same.

You need to keep it as Radiomancers. Otherwise who would have epic battles with the Videomancers? (Although I guess we all know how that’s going to end anyway…)

Absolutely! That book is a treasure.

And...I'm suddenly glad they're not trying to cater to all gamers...

Heh…I’d argue that anything that generates this much discussion is anything but bland and forgettable…:) Has D&D ever had a cohesive art style? I remember early editions being a wonderful mishmash of different artists. Half the time, the artists couldn’t even agree on what an orc or goblin...

And nay-sayers wonder why no one is willing to say “oh well, to each their own” and let it drop. “It’s garbage!” Is such a hyperbolic statement that it practically guarantees another 1000 posts. It’s miles beyond “yeah, I don’t like it”. Some posters are complaining that their opinions aren’t...

I think the analogy of music was apt. I'm old, and the music I listen to is mostly old as well. I generally think it's far superior to what is currently being played. I don't think anyone will tell me I'm not entitled to that position. But, if I go to a forum discussing contemporary music...

Let’s say there are two people who don’t like this wizard. One says: “Nice painting, but not my cup of tea.” And the other says: “This is a horrible piece of “wizard” art!” Which one is more likely to generate 1000+ posts? And if you can’t figure that out, I predict you aren’t going to...

Oh, I freely admit my rose-coloured glasses. I certainly wasn't trying to rain on anyone's parade either. It was more just old memories coming out. And to be fair, I did indeed dig out my Dragon archive. While browsing through, I glanced at the Letters section. And discovered that the sort...

Love them! Thanks for sharing :).

Warning: the following is an old man yelling at the clouds, and probably adds nothing of value to the discussion. Feel free to skip it... After 1100 posts on this painting, I'm left with the sudden realization that I miss the old days. Which, at my age, is nothing new. But specifically, I...

Okay, but if this wasn't a digital image, that we could zoom in to examine the minutest of details, would anyone even notice that level of detail? I mean, really? Flat lenses versus curved? Unless the image was meant to be displayed as a zoomed in portrait, that's an extremely easy detail not...

I don't think anyone is going to tell you that you can't not like this picture. Also, no one is going to dictate how you run the aestetics of your magic or how magic affects the game world. But based on the responses here, and what I've seen over the decades, I feel confident in saying you may...

Regarding eyesight and healing magic, I’d definitely say that’s a DM call, and not one explicitly supported by the text. Yes, those spells do cure Blindness. But I’d argue the intent was to cure Blindness that had been inflicted on the subject. What I mean, is that I am nearsighted. Not due...

Heh...check out that cover for The Secret of Bone Hill. You can't tell me that the 5e image is more of a superhero than that one :). Not complaining, mind you...it's an awesome cover! Also, more flying mages from the early editions:

I resent the implication that people only care about child exploitation as a way to attack AI. It's abhorrent, and any industry should be prevented from using it. However, the only power I have in that regard is to try to avoid companies that do use it. I know how hard that is to do. I also...

Well, since you’ve made it clear again and again you have no plans to buy WOTC books again (since you’ve found other games you feel are superior), I’m pretty sure they weren’t waiting for you to ask… :)
