New boxed set

About time they brought this back

Many DMs have run it many times over as an introductory adventure. It would be nice to have something fresh for DMs to run (and with some improvements to aid new DMs).

Castle Caldwell!

I'm going to buck the trend and say I hope it's not a starter set, we have two of those for 5e and low level APs, maybe a Campaign Setting Boxed Set instead would be cool.

Actually seems fairly plausible.

Somehow I can't see that artwork making it to the cover...

A real shame, I like it.

The artist is Clyde Caldwell, which I thought was neat way back in the day, that he did the art and got the castle named after him.

Clyde Caldwell was one of my top 5 favorite D&D artists* back in the 80s. I especially loved how he did gemstones. And the cover to DL1 is still one of my favorite pieces of D&D art ever. But yeah, he did have a thing for painting scantily clad damsels in distress (like Boris Vallejo, which I'm sure was a big influence) Not a style that would be met well today.


* in case you're curious, the others were: Bill Willingham, Jeff Dee, Trampier, and Elmore. He also made my top 10 overall artists, including Christos Achilleos, Mike Ploog, Frazetta, Brothers Hildebrant, and Erol Otus
