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.
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.
