That was my first awareness of Truman as an artist. Then, when I started getting into things like "First" comics, etc, that's when I saw Truman shine. <br /><br />@NetherWerks: Completely agree about Grimjack!Eric R.

Truman is a very nice guy & GrimJack has always been a favorite of mine. These articles are a major cornerstone about how I approach undead in my games. Very cool of you to remind me. There was always something evocative, gritty, & powerful about Tim Truman for me with Gamma World, D&D, & others. I'll leave Ed Greenwood for the high fantasy but Truman for the urban settings.Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-37799678007460986812011-04-13T08:37:01.898-07:002011-04-13T08:37:01.898-07:00Truman's contribution to D&D is often over...Truman's contribution to D&D is often over-shadowed by all those other guys, but that one set of linked panels at the bottom of the Lich article remains one of the best graphical treatments of D&D stuff ever done. It's absolutely great. Liches are fun to include in the game before they become the abominable mega-villain--their quest to get the pieces, parts, etc. needed is a major adventure-hook in itelf. PC mercenaries who finally figure out what their employer is up to can sometimes get a rude shock and need to start making really serious choices right away...if it isn't too late already...<br /><br />Grimjack still kicks majoe butt.netherwerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361800925618339097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-34949609592863282572011-04-13T05:10:16.701-07:002011-04-13T05:10:16.701-07:00Egads!
