Heh - I thought this article was pretty funny:

I have been looking and looking for just the right image in for something I wanted to do in my next session. Found it! Good stuff.

I enjoyed the read. That man is certainly in touch with his inner 11 year old. Reminded me of my own long-discarded, demented, pubescent sensibilities. I can't help but wonder if even he is aware whether or not his tone is ironic. Hard to tell, sometimes ...

Thanks for the link!

Oh, he is - Something Awful is a comedy site, and the "reviewer" is an infrequently-appearing character. A lot of his postings are gaming/fantasy related.

Okay, good. That's definitely ... good.

Remember what I said a while back about dudes with long white hair? These dudes have seen all kinds of crap, including wolfmen and Asian midgets riding horse monsters that don't even stop if you stab them right in the neck with a spear. This captures the energy of a frenzied attack from the wolfman/tiny Asian alliance and the desperate last stand of the Dudes Who Have Seen Some Crap in purple. The use of autumn colors clearly suggests the end of the reign of the crap-seers. A late 1980s metaphor for the Japanese buying up America? I can believe they would ally with wolfmen, no offense to our Japanese readers.

This is some funny stuff, I have to admit. I feel a little guilty for enjoying it as much as I am ...

I like this cover. The sorceress seems ... out of place, though. I'm not sure why.

This picture has it all when it comes to monsters. You've got Skeleton warriors, orcs with blood-drenched axes, a dragon, and a hot as heck sorceress babe in a wedding dress with a monster rack

I laughed pretty hard while reading the cover reviews. Awesome!

This was totally sweet.

She's no sorceress, she's Takhisis.
