[QUOTE="Warrior Poet, post: 1899141, member: 1057"] Ran a campaign recently with a large jungle setting that I imagined using lots of influence from Frazetta paintings and Howard's Conan books: towering ruins, giant prehistoric animals, savage blade combat, strange hallucinogenic plants, seductresses, madness, deadly magic. All that great stuff. Frazetta's work is incredibly inspirational. I always thought he depicted Conan accurately: not a blond Austrian in some pose, but rather the dark-haired Cimerrian always in the midst of the most savage trouble. As barsoomcore noted above, Frazetta's the king. There are so many great fantasy illustrators, but Frazetta's on a whole other level. Go write a new adventure! Giant snakes! Strange wizards! Dark waters! Lusty warrior women! Lost treasure! Treacherous thieves! Illicit caravans! Edit: Whoops! I forgot. If you need any inspiration for great adventures with something of a Frazetta feel, may I suggest checking out barsoomcore's story hour (Barsoom Tales, linked in the signature of his post above) in the Story Hour Forum (he's got several in there, and they're all good, but Barsoom Tales is a great place to start). His world isn't exactly the Barsoom from the novels (though there are similarities), but it's awesome, and his writing is great. There's more than one or two things with a hint of Frazetta in them. Or, anther way to think about the story is, its easy to imagine Frazetta illustrations accompanying his story hour. Warrior Poet [/QUOTE]
