D&D 5E (2014) TERRIBLE book covers as game/characters inspiration!

[Ancalagon]

Hello

Brace yourself for occasional mind blasting visuals!

So I found this website that is devoted to horrible book covers. While most of these are "merely" hilariously bad, some are... inspiring... for gaming content. (edit: you will have to scroll down a bit)

A few gems:

Goblinproofing is so important: http://kindlecoverdisasters.tumblr.com/post/157942174440/essential-reading-buy-it-here

My next character: http://kindlecoverdisasters.tumblr.com/post/155389292315/okey-dokey-buy-it-here

The next villain maybe? http://kindlecoverdisasters.tumblr.com/post/156400607700/holy-flurking-schnit-buy-it-here

Nice for planar mishaps http://kindlecoverdisasters.tumblr..../read-responsibly-and-stop-immediately-if-you

.... just don't click on this one. You might want to format your computer just in case.

Wow. Pretty sure I can Photoshop better than that.

Ignoring that, I can't tell whether she's sleeping, at a rave, or in the throws of passion. It's like Lolth sleep-raving on ecstasy.

Aw man, I thought that this was going to be a thread about turning 80s/90s fantasy book covers into characters.

I have to say that the Horse one is probably a prime candidate for printing out and saying, "The Baroness has this on her reading table" just for a laugh.

Old 80's Rumpleminze ads = Beastmaster ranger with bear companion

I totally played this lady as a character back in the old days, in response to someone telling me a ranger with a bear companion was boring and done to death.

Well...Chuck Tingle apparently has a bit of cult cred... The bibliography is hilarious.
