[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 9389835, member: 86051"] [B]Artist[/B]: Emmanuel [B]Source[/B]: [I]White Dwarf 40[/I] (Games Workshop, 1983) [B]Depicting[/B]: Um... Well, since my sense of "weirdness" has nothing to do with "gonzoness" (I have always detested Gonzo and the Star Trek critters with a passion, although age has softened my resolve a bit in the first case - poor guy - BUT ONLY INCREASED IT IN THE SECOND); can assure you that folks who think they can have a laugh while out and about in THE LAND OF QAF will rue the moment they even thought about it; and the question isn't what OFFENDED my gonzo D&D sensibilities (now that would have been easy), I'm afraid I can only see "weirdness" as being something that has a certain [I][B]beauty[/B][/I] and [I][B]delicacy[/B][/I] to it*, and which can also add yet another layer to the many-layered sense of [I]je-ne-sais-quoi[/I] I let govern my every venture in D&D. Now, because we're only allowed to count to one and my one is a "one" the folks trying to implement granny's law around here probably won't appreciate - however innocent it is thought of in my part of the world (yes, it's Boris Vallejo's [S]Glasya kissing a girl with no pants on oh wait that's not D&D[/S] faerie dragon and girl with no pants on on the cover of [I]Dragon #52)[/I] - I can only post the image below, mainly because it actually [B][I]was[/I][/B] the first thing that helped define my sense of what could be weird in D&D* - and because it's by Emmanuel. [ATTACH type="full" alt="weird4.png"]370121[/ATTACH] *) What can I say? I'm a boring kind of guy. Edit: [S]inspired[/S] [/QUOTE]
