Red Robes --

Yes, I have the first three books by Gygax & Arneson: Vol 1, Men & Magic (36pg), Vol 2, Monsters & Treasure (40pg), & Vol 3, The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures (36pg), the TSR Reference sheets (no, I no longer have the box), Supplement 1: Greyhawk (68pg), Supplement 3: Eldritch Wizardry (56pg), and Supplement 4: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (76pgs). I also have the first three volumes of David Hargraves Adruin trilogy: the Grimoire (1), Welcome to Skull Tower (2), and The Runes of Doom (3). The books were a gift in the late 70s from a friend who abandoned playing, and unfortunately he personalized a lot of pages. Nonetheless, the artwork is intact, and the books remain in pretty fair condition. And, somewhere I have the remains of the DnD Basic booklet, though I cannibalized that pretty early on. I've been running a version 2.5 for many years now, even though the game itself is in version 4.

Regarding the transfer sheets. You can still find them in the hobby area. After digging for several hours, I found a site that sells them relatively cheaply. Link address below:

Copy the above line and send it along to your friend. Apparently the dry transfer gradient is used for doing manga artwork, so the sheets are still being made and are relatively cheap.

For the others --
I did upload two of my maps into the album. One is a map of Tudor Britain (England and Wales); it's a simple map, but was unique in that it included the Welsh lands as most show only England. An odd circumstance, when you think about it, as William Herbert was Earl of Pembroke, and Pembroke is in western Wales. Maps of Tudor Britain should include Wales as well. The coastline was used with permission and provided by the UK Ordnance Survey. I submit the map freely as long as people don't remove the copyright information, nor the Ordnance logo (their requirement).

The other map was done in Freehand 7, and is from a small section of the campaign. Many many years ago (okay, maybe ten or twelve) I did the original map. It took me several months to recently relocate my copy of Freehand. The newer 3d graphics are neat, sure enough, but at the moment, I simply can't afford to upgrade. I fell in love with vector graphical art a long time ago: you can resize it without loss of clarity.

Yes, I destroyed a lot of maps by smudging. The cotton glove tip posted elsewhere was a good one, and one I would have appreciated knowing a lot earlier. I did notice in the photos, however, the lack of rulers (aka straight-edges). The raised bottoms were crucial to keeping the ink from bleeding under the length of the device. I have triangles, French curves, even a "Flexicurve" tool by Fullerton made in the UK. For artistry, I liked doing ink maps. I couldn't afford to keep at it though, especially as it was outside my field, and at the time, I had a family to support. The nibs always made a dent in my pocketbook.

In any event, I look forward to browsing for more ideas, and welcome critiques. I have scanned in the other parts of my hand-drawn campaign, and plan on digitizing them in the near future. Years ago, I scanned in the mon (family crests) from the Milton-Bradley game "Shogun" and started creating images. (Apparently, MB had to change the name because of copyright battles over Clavell's novel & movie; how anyone can copyright a word in common usage is beyond me, but MB renamed it "Swords and Samurais". And, yes, I have that game, as well as first runs of Conquest of the Empire and Axis & Allies.) I'm nearly done with creating the mon, and if people want to see them, I will upload jpg versions, and can even make them wall-paper if desired.

The moniker is actually from my brother. In science fiction, the Good Doctor was Asimov, and in my campaign, there is a sage who goes by that nickname. My brother thinks I write pretty good, and calls me that on occasion. When I put together some music CDs for him recently, I used it as DJ persona, and liked it, so it stuck. So there you go.
