[QUOTE="Jeremy E Grenemyer, post: 2622977, member: 12388"] What, you thought we didn't know that? It's a mistake to objectively judge what came then against what's around now, particularly in a subjective ‘this is what got my imagination going back in the day’ thread like this. When people are reminiscing down memory lane and inviting us along, the last thing we want to do is say out loud, "That's nice and I'm happy that you feel that way, but it's really all just crap." …especially if ‘we’ never experienced it first hand. Sheesh. Anyway, for me it was everything in each major setting. Whether 1E adventure artwork, Dragonlance or the Realms or (later) Dark Sun, I loved how the artwork really ‘made’ the setting and its NPCs come to life. Even the weird stuff (unrealistic interior artwork for the revised Realms box set –is that thorny looking structure [i]really[/i] what Zhentil Keep looks like? And do all the NPCs look like characters right out of an [i]Elfquest[/i] comic book?; Wrong-looking textures of the horse rider’s skin on the cover of the 2nd Ed Players Handbook.) kept my imagination going.
