I just did a double-take. Ownership of the old TSR art went back over to the original artists after all? I'm not sure how that was set up.

Yeah, I thought that artwork looked a little old-school familiar. And the adventure summary reads real familiar, too. I can't quite place it, but I think that there's a very similar adventure out there for a previous incarnation of D&D. Of course, isn't that kind of Goodman Games schtick? Vintage D&D, updated for the modern gamer?

Cool... Clyde Caldwell art. I always thought he was one of the better artists for TSR in the '80's.

Yep. It was one of the first things that Peter Adkison did when we bought TSR back in 1997. A very cool gesture by Peter.

Hmmmm.... Puppets was one of my favourite adventures in high school. Man, it was a long time ago... :-)

I wasn't sure if it was the same art, or a new take on an old pic.

I have the set of his trading cards somewhere... According to them "Hey baby, let me paint you" is a successful pick up line.

Butterfrog, take note ;-)

I have to agree with Floppy. Sounds a lot like Baltron's Beacon.
