“The Flying Citadel”, Keith Parkinson (after Magritte?), The Art of the DragonLance Saga, TSR, 1987; originally for the 1984 AD&D module DL4: Dragons of Desolation. Even with the knotwork frame overlay this cover shows most of the original painting with all 8 dragons, unlike the cropped version used on the module. (Previously: The Tomb of Derkin)
World-building idea to steal: An inverted ziggurat dungeon marketplace in a platform of rock floating above the city (Ad for “Game’s” store in Casus Belli 1, April 1980) Game’s Paris location was in the Forum des Halles, the underground mall that inspired the illustration.
