Thanks for your help! I've contacted Baldman Games - no luck there sadly, Dave Christ isn't sure he has anyone from back then anymore.

I've seen Mr. Tulach on X/Twitter, but he hasn't posted through '25. He's still at WotC anyway, so maybe this one is just not to be.

Thanks once more! Good day!

Any chance you played Trial by Shadow at GenCon 2012 Indy? It might be decanonized perforce, given, well, hardly any record of it, but it might also be of interest to future devs.

I'm off to continue hunting snipes!

Gleaned a link to a thread on Trial by Shadow. Sadly it broke since. WBM sorcery time!

Realms of the Dragons I and II appear to be the same piece as the Ruin, seeing the continuity between all three pieces... but it might not be.

I suspect it was intended to be a single giant splash poster, but it wasn't, for whatever reason.

The shapes match, as shown here, but the hues don't.

Here's a working cover for Realms of the Dragons II. It looks like it's the same pics, but it isn't. It is much rougher, and there are details that don't quite match!

Plus, in the cover of the Ruin, we can see it's signed 2005. The Rage is from 2004. Those must be separate pieces.

In this post, the covers of the Rage and the Rite, and a piece by Stawicki that was proposed for a calendar to be voted on.

See how they fit together? One would reason that the last three pieces, The Ruin, Realms of the Dragons, are part of the same too.

But!

I don't think that worked. I'll have something figured out, even if I have to cook up a github or neocities or whatever to staple them there.

Went and done it! Also splashing them on social media while I'm at it. Can't hurt!

Thanks for your answer. I've found out the artists since then, nevermind, heh.

Thanks!
