The illustration is from the Birthright campaign setting. The entire setting has a fantastic aesthetic. It's grounded but adds just enough flair to be recognizable as fantasy. Arms and armor are practical, true spellcasters and magical items are few and generally more subtle. (Only Regents, those with divine bloodlines, can be Wizards or Clerics. Among the common folk, mages are more like Rogues with very limited spell options.) The monsters are MONSTROUS, yet curiously mundane -- after all, they are largely just men and women twisted into obscene and terrifying forms.

What I'm saying is that you have good taste and someday I would like to run a Birthright-style campaign using a better system than 2e or any edition of D&D.
>>
>>54136045
I think that specific figure is the Cold Rider, or maybe the Magian. No idea what he's doing holding up those folks, though.
>>
>>54136045
That sounds really fucking nice. Low-fantasy in Medieval European settings is the best.
Technically this picture pre-dates D&D but whatever, it looks good and it's old.

It's low fantasy, but the rulers of realms literally have the blood of gods flowing through their veins. Magic, true magic, belongs only to those blooded few. Mystical sources dot the land that attract those with true magic, the purest lie in elven woods guarded by their hateful archers.

It's a cool setting, includes Anuire (more classic Medieval Europe), Khinasi (arabic/persian people and region), Brechtur (dutch and german sailors, much held by the Gorgon, one of the big bads of the setting), Vos (eastern europeans who have mostly descended into barbarism, once slaves of an evil god), and Rjurik (norse). The elves and dwarves of the setting are a bit different than usual, and the halflings are VERY different than usual. Definitely worth a look, even if you'll never play it.

Ah, Frederic Leighton, back when artists still had skill and a sense of beauty. Not like the ugly hacks of today.

>>54142682
I agree. Where did you find that pic? I got the ones I have saved from Wikipedia.

I love the detail of the mail and armor in his stuff.

This illustration was right next to a DMG rant on why monster races can't and shouldn't be PCs

I wonder what Gygax thought of 3e giving monsters class levels?

Anyway, here's more Trampier.
