Dream-Quest: Knight of Dreams

Elsewhere, I'm still developing Dream-Quest, my Lovecraftian/Dunsanian fantasy game based on Old School Essentials. This is a side project to the others I'm already sharing over at Grognardia Games Direct, but it's starting to pick up steam, with the goal of playtesting an early version of it in the winter. In the meantime, I'm filling out the roster of character classes for play, with the Knight of Dreams being the latest one. The class takes loose inspiration from the knights who serve King Kuranes in Lovecraft's "Celephaïs."

    Love that.

  2. James, late to the party here, but WHAT is that wonderful woodcut-seeming-illo of the knight and the creepie in the cave? I'm seeing a stylized "R" in the lower left. Image search isn't tracking it down. What's it from? Who is the artist? I'm a fool for woodcut illustrations ancient and modern, and this one is just so evocative. I've got to know.
