Day 4 of #RPGaDay2024 is the classic "RPG with Great Art"
A quick aside, as a wargamer, the last few weeks have been a full immersions into nostalgia.
Seeing a collection of 1/144th scale bi-planes snapped me back to my childhood room, staring up at the Sopwith Camel and Red Baron dueling each other, held by strings pinned to the ceiling.
A number of beautiful 54mm (toy solider) sized wargames at Historicon sent me back to lining up my newly purchased Britains on the wooden steps of my Aunt and Uncles old farmhouse in Vermont.
Heck, I'm now old enough that a conclave of men hiding in the corner at Historicon revealed a crazy Battletech games, and a flood of emotions from my late teens
For my early teens, I just need to look over at my RPG shelf look at this cover:
... and I'm instantly transported to far back of the Waldenbooks in the Palmer Park Mall, where all the role-playing books were. Sharing the same shelf as T1-4: Temple of Elemental Evil and A1-4 Scourge of the Slavelords, this lone pointy-eared (but not an elf!) tattooed warrior with a big-ass sword told me that this was something different than D&D.
