This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Would it be fair to say that Dark Conspiracy...

Quote from: ColonelHardissonI thought the interior art for the main book was pretty cool, especially the artist who did the character portraits in the section on professions, and a lot of the monsters and aliens.
That would be Janet Aulisio. She worked for a lot of GDW lines (even did the Danjerous Journeys screen) but also for TSR (Dragon and Dungeon Magazine), WW, ICE, and whoever did Jorune.
Her Challenge covers are noteworthy.

And you are right. Those character portraits are what I remember first when someone mentions DC.
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.
(Beware. This is a Kickstarter link.)

Fun Fact: When I moved to Bloomington/Normal, Illinois, the GDW sign was still proudly displayed on a building in Downtown Normal.  I don't have any idea what happened to it after that, but a year or three later, it was gone.

Fun Fact 2: The address for GDW in my Mythus books (listed on Empire in Bloomington, IL) doesn't seem to exist.

It ended up hanging on a wall inside Medieval Starship, a game store.

A year or so ago they were supposedly working on a new edition...but the website hasn't been updated in over a year.
