In Episode 11, Stan! talked with NYT best-selling author, and award-winning game designer Tracy Hickman about his storied career. One of Tracy’s early-but-enduring hits was the 1st edition adventure module I6: Ravenloft, whose cover featured the original painting of the vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich done by the inimitable Clyde Caldwell. So while they chatted, Stan! created a cartoon homage to that classic piece of D&D art.

Subscribers to this newsletter got to see this drawing last week, whereas the general public are only just getting their first glimpses of it today. But there’s still something left that’s JUST for the paid subscribers—a process video showing the step-by-step creation of this cartoon homage. (If you’re currently a free subscriber, now would be a great time to upgrade.)
