[Tales and Chronicles]

Literally just realized that was Vecna on the DMG cover.

I think it was supposed to be Acererak, from the description of the art in the book, IIRC.

That makes me feel even worse

Dont worry they are mostly the same guy, one being the apprentice of the other and all that.

Negative, that's Ackerack...but all ancient undead zombie Wizards seeking God head look the same to me.

Wait, really? Man, I missed that memo.

Acererak - Greyhawk Wiki

yup, he's a big shot alright.

 

[MonsterEnvy]

Yeah he was a Cambion student of Vecna that became a Lich.

I thought he just had outright taste in hirned helmets, and didn't question it too much.

Thanks! It appears Tiamat also went for $65,000 and Drizzt went for $155,000! Dang this paintings are generating serioys cash.

That is the best place to see original art for sale.

I think that’s Acererak.

I think that’s Acererak.

It says so inside.

ON THE COVER
Tyler Jacobson illustrates the archlich Acererak as he raises an army of undead and prepares to unleash it on an unsuspecting world.

Vecna is a better made up name than Ace-Rerack.

Well it's pronounced "a-SER-ur-ack"

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Well it's pronounced "a-SER-ur-ack"

Which is much better.....

D&D names being silly and hard to pronounce is nothing new. Some even consider it part of D&D’s charm.

Maybe, but the spelling should still make sense phonetically. If you want it to be pronounced "a-SER-ur-ack" you should spell it Aseryurack.

Not really. A-cer-er-ak

A-cer-er-ak is completely different to a-SER-ur-ack! You can't pronounce an e as a u!

Also, repeated er-er sounds like a stammer.

er can easily sound like ur when spoken.

Not in England.
