Index of Illustrations & Cartography: front cover by Sean “Len Cain” Elliott; back cover by Victor Raymond, James Mishler, and Len Cain. Fight On! and TARGA logos by Jeff Rients. Bob Bledsaw photo by Mark Holmer. In-terior art, logos, and cartography by Steve Zieser (3,6,9,13, 43,48,50,56,141), Otherworld Miniatures (5,28), Robert S. Conley (11,57), Vincent Baker (16), Kesher (24), Lee Bar-ber (27,63), Jason Morningstar (28,29), Walter Heubach (31), Jeff Rients (32), Patrick Farley (33,70), James Mishler (35,38), Douglas Cox (44), John Miskimen (45,72,76), Tim Shorts (45), Judges Guild (46), Age of Fable (48), David Bowman (53), Peter Seckler (54), Bob Bledsaw II and I (67), Daniel Proctor (69), Anthony Stiller (69), Gabor Lux (80,81,85,90,91), Gustav Dore (93,96,107,108,112,113, 124), Geoffrey O. Dale (94,95,99,105,107), Jeff Wilcox (97), Kevin Mayle (103,116), Olivier Legrand (128), S. John Ross (130), and Matthew Hoover (146). We also used public domain art from karenswhimsy.com (4,21,58,64,92, 121), wikimedia commons (14,18,136), and wpclipart.com (19,39,118,127,131).
So, very cool, all in all. There are some truly fantastic things in this issue and I frankly don't think there's this much bang for your buck anywhere in gaming right now. We couldn't say that for the charming issue 1, good as it was, but this thing is crazy-packed with stuff.
Which isn't to say we couldn't have done a better job on some things with this one. Melan's submission is frankly amazing and I wish I could have found art for it. I mean, it's insanely cool. I could have done better editing work with Geoff Dale too, though that thing is pretty freakin' cool too, despite my editorial limits (now you can go a little farther into hell!). I could have finished Level 2 of Darkness Beneath so we could have published the levels in order. And there are some other things, plus I'm sure coffee and Rob and people like that will be emailing me with my usual half-dozen typos etc. in short order.
But d**n, I'm really happy about this one. I'll post again here too once I've got my proof copy.
