I mean, that's exactly what Jack Chick's audience thinks a book that teaches you how to sacrifice goats to Belphegor of the Sulfur Pits would look like.
Oddly enough, it sorta looks like a 3rd edition D&D book. Hmm...

I had to explain the one point up/two point up pentacle/pentagram thing a lot. One of the best rpgs ever, with a totally sketchy cover for the 80's.
ReplyDeleteI only briefly owned it a couple of years ago, but it seemed pretty cool. It reminded me of the Palladium Fantasy RPG, in a way (and I mean that as a compliment). The Sienkewicz art in the Bestiary was incredible.
ReplyDeleteI remember that. 80's (pre-digi) Sienkewicz really does it for me.
ReplyDeleteDEMON BEAR!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I need to re-acquire the Arcanum Bestiary in its original standalone version. (The one you saw was a compiled reprint, and I think the art got shrunk down.)
Atlantis: the Lost World also has a Bestiary in it that is the exact same one as the standalone (I own them both).
ReplyDeleteYeah, Atlantis: The Lost World was the version I used to have. Do you happen to know if the artwork in the original Bestiary book was printed at a larger size?
ReplyDeleteThe Bard Games A:tLW and the Bard Games Bestiary are exactly the same. I am not sure about any other editions done by other companies, but I just thumbed through them and there is no difference in the Bard Games versions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Bat.
