May 29, 2011: The Monsters Are Coming! The Monsters Are Coming!

In the past year or so, we've been ratcheting up our artwork in our GURPS supplements. While we've generally been happy with our art, we're perfectionists at heart -- why settle for "great" when you can aspire to "mind-bogglingly awesome"? As part of our ongoing aspirations of awesomeness, we've been tracking down new and exciting artists, and working more closely with our authors to make sure the art we use reflects their visions.

I'd normally write a bunch more words trying to convince you of my compelling thesis statement, but in this case, a picture is worth a thousand words. Those who follow our forums know that we've leaked "4,000 words" via our Flickr feed from one forthcoming supplement: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 1 (a long-awaited installment in the Dungeon Fantasy line). Consider this a sneak peek at a supplement that's sure to be a hit . . . and the artwork will be one of the reasons why.
