I love this old style fantasy art.

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Right? It has such a distinctive look.

Frank Frazetta for more Conan inspired art

Clyde Caldwell did a lot of the art for old DnD cRPGs and has a webbed sight still up.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Wow, that's a cool site. Thanks for sharing.

Those Conan books were some spicy stuff for 12 year old me

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lots of heaving bosoms?

Armor covered with those little spikes and all.

Oh lawd.

He cumming.

The reason it was Conan magazine and not comic was so they could get away with violence and nudity in the world of the comics code authority

I've got the whole collection of stories to give to my little dude when he's old enough. I'm stoked

BRMC is under the same Ballad health umbrella. 29 counties, and two hospitals just went down?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Heh I think you replied to the wrong comment but yeah.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ugh. I'm like 15 books short of a complete SSOC run.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

looking at the illustration, i was thinking the same. These shouldn't have been accessible to 7 y.o. me

I've "read" them all 🤷

What's the fuss about a little gore and dismemberment and decapitation and torture anyway? Not like kids were told that some people of the female persuasion... * psst * have nipples too.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hey, wait a minute. That's an axe, not a sword!

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Deception is the key to victory.

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don't you mean deception is the sword to victory?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

All keys are swords if you are violent enough.

[–] syreus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

All right. You win. I see you've played axeyswordy before.
