Who Are They?

[Presto2112]

Yeah... those guys are basically the Dungeon Iconics. We use them to give the magazine an ongoing personality (although the adventuers change each issue, the heroes don't), and because it's easier to ask artists to paint/draw a specific character than to ask for a paladin and then have to go in and change things because the art we get is of a guy who doesn't look like a paladin (or monk, or wizard, or whatever).

It both makes sense and gives the adventures a sense of connection to the magazine, as opposed to a sense of a bnch of adventures slapped together to fill page content.

Not that Dungeon has felt like that recently; most of the material has been top notch. However, I do get an impression that the Dungeon Iconics simply bind it all together just that little bit more.

Nice touch.

And I agree, some of them would make great DDMs.

James,

Good deal. Thanks for sharing all that!

Does anyone know of a link where we can see images of them? (I don't get Dungeon.)

I'd KILL for a chance to do the Dungeon Iconics. The original four have awesome design (specially the elf rogue and the human paladin).
