I paid five bucks for a copy of Dungeoneer Journal #23 just so I could lay my hands on a copy of this fullpage illo:
Finding the magazine containing this illo at our local con led me to becoming a collector of The Dungeoneer, a great little rag published by Judges Guild and edited by Paul Jacquays. The Dungeoneer and another JG mag, Judges Guild Journal, later merged to form the The Dungeoneer Journal. I don't have any other issues of DJ, but by issue 23 Jacquays is no longer at the helm and something seems lost thereby. Jacquays went on to have a stint editing Dragon.
Over the next week or two I plan on digging through my Dungeoneers and hitting you all with some old school goodness.
The ancient kingdom of Spidernesti

"The House of Stars became the House of Spiders".
That's the line from Tanis's secret journal that the heroes managed to
decipher. And the druidess rea...
Oh man, that illo is great. It's the dungeon-delving equivalent of seeing what's beyond the next hill, and what makes the adventurer more than the average yokel. I sure hope that dude at the bucket cinched a dagger to his belt and jumped in.
