Like an October moon the giant skull rises then begins to speak, dripping water that turns to blood.  (Doug Watson from D&D module CM3: Sabre River, TSR, 1984.)

Peter Cushing:  Destroyer of Alderaan, killer of Dracula, pilot of the TARDIS, occupant of 221-B Baker Street, miniatures wargamer.

Don’t talk to me about what bad-ass is.  I know.

Pathe video from 1956 at the link.  The narrator mentions soldiers made of compressed paper, which sounds like a form of composition material similar to the older sawdust and glue figures.  The comment about marksmanship at the end is literal – in HG Wells’ Little Wars rules the players fired projectiles from toy cannons to knock down the opposing figures.

White Dwarf 27 October/November 1981. Alan Craddock, 1981.

I want to be good, but evil has a great tailor on staff.  And that map wall.  And a leopard.

Gods of Lankhmar (Keith Parkinson, cover of AD&D Lankhmar module CA2: Swords of Deceit, TSR, 1986, reprinted in The Art of the AD&D Fantasy Game, TSR, 1989.)  Apparently this also has been used in one form or another as the art for at least a dozen metal albums.

The Palace of Spires.

If this were unsigned I might have thought Miyazaki had adapted Dr. Seuss.

(Timothy Truman, from AD&D module UK1 Beyond the Crystal Cave, TSR, 1983.)
