D&Dr for Yuletide

This year, for obvious and many reasons, my brothers and I have not been able to gather at Christmas and therefore we could not plau our traditional Dungeons & Dragons gaming session
during the holidays. It's a bit of a shame, as my mind was full of ideas for a game set during winter, what with my latest and very topical reads. It's also sad because not only as this is the only time of year when we can play, but Christmas and winter makes the game all the most atmospheric. That said, I kept notes of the ideas I have been having and we should use them for next year. I have also started getting Wolfie interested about medieval fantasy, but more on that on another post. And I would not finish my post without mentioning the picture accompanying it. It is from Dragon Magazine 218, artwork by Wayne Mondok, who never did anything else for the publication, as far as I know. A shame, as this is one of my favourite picture. This image pictures perfectly the kind of atmosphere we want to convey for our D&Dr played and set in Yuletide. A lone knight on a quest, in a remote place, in snowy midwinter, where anything could happen.
