Have been making my way through a close read of the Immortals rules. So much great stuff in there, although I'm realizing it could have been better organized. Below - a preliminary concept sketch of the cover, by Larry Elmore.

Although uncredited, this illustration from AC10 "Bestiary of Dragons and Giants" (1987) was likely done by Roger Raupp (compare the dragons to his illustration of a dragon from ICE's "Elemental Companion" (1989)

Raupp was mentioned in the review for AC10 in Dragon #148

M5 "Talons of Night" (1987) by Jennell Jaquays features extraplanar travel.

One of the outer planes is the World of Thorne, a concept Jaquays revisited in her cover illustration for Dragon #175 (November, 1991)

The outer plane of Eloysia described in "Five Coins For A Kingdom" (1987) is a fascinating place, with thousands of rocky islands orbiting a small, central sun in three concentric shells. You can read more about it here: osrgrimoire.blogspot.com/2024/12/m4-f... #becmi #dnd #osr

Love this article by Tom Moldvay in "The Dragon" #38 (June, 1980) and also the illustration by Darlene. Moldvay later used these ideas to create the Seven Realms in M3 "Twilight Calling" (1986). You can read more about them, here: osrgrimoire.blogspot.com/2024/12/m3-t...
