1983.
A new Monster Manual.
A new generation of monsters.
And the first AD&D hardcover cover painted by Jeff Easley.
TSR had no idea they were looking at the debut of one of the defining fantasy artists of the next two decades.
"Like the shadows in the dark
Hold me close in your arms
With this night that we mend
Don't know where your body ends
Can we build what was lost
Or rebirth love from lust?
'Cause this love feels like death
So kiss me like you meant it"
-Gore., Like You Meant It
This old Grognard just filled a new-to-me tablet up with B/X D&D, Basic Fantasy, BRP Basic Roleplaying, and LotFP PDFs. My RPG reading material is locked in for awhile. \m/ #OSR#LotFP#BasicFantasy#BRP
