A picture of a book with a cover that says: One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this. The author is listed at the bottom, Omar El Akkad

Also anything by Infocom from time to time (e.g., Enchanter).
The intro to Infocom's Enchanter: It must be the warlock Krill. The odd disappearances, the mysterious dissolution of regions sacred to the Circle, the lessening of the Powers -- these could only be his handiwork. The Circle gathers and its leader, the esteemed Belboz, reveals to them an ancient document which portends evil days much like our own. "Krill's evil must be unmade," he begins, "but to send a powerful Enchanter is ill-omened. It would be ruinous to reveal oversoon our full powers." A ripple of concern spreads over the face of each Enchanter. Belboz pauses, and collects his resolve. "Have hope! This has been written by a hand far wiser than mine!"

Sometimes it's not an action-packed page that's memorable, but rather one like this: the X-Men saying goodbye to Moira MacTaggert and Muir Isle. Uncanny X-Men #129 from January 1980. #uncannyxmen #xmen In this issue is the first appearance of both Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost, the White Queen!

Not celebrating Independence Day until the U.S. deserves to be celebrated. It may be years before we can again. Fuck patriotism. Fuck the 4th. #fuckthe4th

Dragonworld (1984) by Telarium/Trillium for the Commodore 64! I played this game for hours. #80s #retrogames #interactivefiction #C64 #C64games #Commodore #Commodore64
Dragonworld opening screen (C64) with a green dragon The first prompt in the Dragonworld game with three pictures at the top and a text description: “You are on a sandy beach. Waves lap the shore. In front of you a small, single-masted boat is tied to a stump. A west wind is blowing. The small boat sways in the surf. The sail lies at the base of the mast.” The cover art for Dragonworld, which has a closeup of a dragon’s head with horns, and a castle reflected in the dragon’s eye.

What's the cover art that got you started on the #ttrpg hobby? Here's mine:
Cover to Middle-Earth Role Playing (MERP) 1st edition. It has a red border with the members of the fellowship of the ring: Legolas, Gandalf, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Sam, Gimli, Boromir, and Aragorn. In the background is Orodruin (Mount Doom).
