i liked that one too but never owned it back in the day. i had dm guide,
player's handbook, monster manual and fiend folio. fiend folio was the "new
book" at the time. when i started playing with my kids a decade a go, i
searched out original copies of what i was missing as i find some of the new
stuff too complicated and anal retentive and needed the old books to play for
freestyle like we use to. my kids love the game too. there are campaigns and
background stories they will never forget because they were so funny and so
much fun. i am glad i could pass that on to them. one day, each will get one of
these recreations when the time comes for me to pass them on. the legacy will
continue.

p.s. for the record, i am looking for vintage dungeons and dragons art. i would
love to own the original art from monster manual for the beholder, mind flayer
or any one of a number of other incredibly monsters. if you have any or know of
any, please let me know. i'd be incredibly generous in offers and gratitude.

i am hoping to get a few painted commissions done this year. i am looking for
relatively faithful painting recreations of a few favorite childhood images.
although i have one, i want a better cover recreation of player's handbook from
dungeons and dragons. i'd also like the original monster manual cover and
dungeon master's guide and maybe even the DM screen art. the original artistic
skill on some these is perhaps not always great so the artist i use must be
versatile in terms of style. i would love any suggestions. i don't care if they
are well known or not, as long as you think they might have the skills. so,
fell free to send me any suggestions on or off list (monkeyb0y@xxxxxxxxxx)

p.s. just thinking out loud, doing a player's handbook recreation theme with
artist's using their own style and take on that original image might be a fun
commission theme to explore.
