SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

What were they thinking? The RPG art cringe thread :D

The worst thing about CPv3 is the unreadable font.  It's literally headache inducing for me.

No, that's not the worst thing, but if you couldn't read it, you didn't get to the worst parts.

LOL, that is entirely possible.  Will upgrade to worse encountered part over worst part.   :D

Gamer's life saved by horrible font. Spared brain death of actually reading 3e CP2020 further! News at 11.

I remember Spoony showing off that image during his 5th Edition review. It and the other related pieces make both the Halflings and Gnomes look like deformed children.

Absolutely! I mean, by the time that kind of neckcloth was adopted historically, that kind of lute had been out of fashion for a couple of centuries.
And, have you ever tried playing a lute while dancing without a guitar-style shoulder strap?
And, lute shells are pretty thin - you're really risking damaging it if you're wearing that cut-down-rapier and having the pommel knock against the instrument.

(Also, the dance looks vaguely galliarde-like, which is probably outdated before that style of rapier hilt becomes popular, and was never really taken up as a folk tradition. Or is it supposed to be Irish step dancing?)

Self-portraits by the artists, then.

I'm surprised HasWoTCbro hasn't yet been pummeled by the Woke Brigade In Defense of Height Diversity (don't you dare call them Little People!).
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

This book is called "Viking Age" (not "Sexy Fantasy Vikings" or some such), and the art pieces on the front and back really give me a lot of confidence in this product.

same, it's a little too formal and like it can't decide between being a drawing or a photo.
I don\'t want to play with you.

I think I'll make new D20 campaign book about authentic viking culture. How do you like this as a cover? :D
