Do these flies have a name? I saw the same thing in a Dragonlance comic.

Is this... is this real? If this is an actual Dragonlance book, I think I should give that setting another chance.

TSR published an extensive quantity of gamebooks, combining CYOA (as with their Endless Quest line) with RPG elements. In 1987-9, they published four books in a new series called Catacombs Solo Quest, which were more complex, with greater RPG elements, and closer to a solo D&D/AD&D module. The second Catacombs book took place in the Dragonlance campaign setting, with a story about draconians mounting an invasion of Mt. Nevermind, home of the tinker gnomes.

I always liked the art from the Ravenloft monster manual additions from 2nd edition.

I don't know what supposed edition of "Dungeons & Dragons" this cover was used for, but the artwork doesn't hold a candle to the original Trampier illustration:

The Valerie Valusek "Barbarian in the Library" drawing is a classic, though.

4e. The logo, font, art style and Rob Heinsoo are dead giveaways, as are book titles that end in numbers; they published something like 3 PHBs alone.

I've got nothing to add here but that this thread is awesome. I think in this era of ultra realistic and "soulless" gaming art, the pictures here speak volumes as to what we've lost along the way.

Imagination and freedom.

This artwork is just pure bliss.

A Balor and its cronies.
