A #skullmountain variant by Darlene, from her 1982 card game Jasmine: The Battle for Mid-Realm. She has a page about it on her blog: http://darlenetheartist.com/tag/fire-queen-of-ildshoii/

That's a card from her Battle For The Mid Realm game, if I am not mistaken.
ReplyDeleteYes, you must have missed my note above : )
ReplyDeleteAh, yes - just saw the first two lines in the preview!
ReplyDeleteAndy probably just missed the note. ; )
ReplyDelete!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteVery!
ReplyDeleteThe style of art reminds me of the TSR monster cards - Darlene did some of these as well.
ReplyDeleteI’ve had this card game for years but never looked at in detail. It seems like there is a good amount of campaign fodder hidden within.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Tony Rowe - speaking of which, it's worth looking up Darlene's old Jasmine strips in Dragon as yet more fodder. That aside, if you haven't played it - break it out and try it. I was really surprised at how rich the gameplay was when I played it at GaryCon; it holds up quite vs. recent game designs.
ReplyDeleteI just started reading the Jasmine strips myself. Apparently she developed the card game after Dragon canceled the comic after its first year. http://darlenetheartist.com/darlenes-stores/jasmine-the-battle-for-the-mid-realm-collector-card-game/
ReplyDeleteDarlene has been posting her original notes from 30 years ago for the story on her blog, she's up to Jasmine Snippet 100: darlenetheartist.com - Jasmine Snippet 100?
