Let's just say that, hypothetically speaking, a certain company were considering printing up a DCC poster. Oh, you know, nobody I know, just in general. If you had to vote on one such poster option, which of these would be your favorite?

DCC #1: Idylls of the Rat King, 3rd printing
By Jim Holloway

DCC #17: Legacy of the Savage Kings
By William McAusland
Image

DCC #25: Dread Crypt of Srihoz
By Erol Otus
Image

DCC #26: The Scaly God
By Jason Edwards
Image

DCC #28: Into the Wilds
By Jim Roslof
Image

DCC #30: Vault of the Dragon Kings
By Erol Otus

Had to go with Vault of the Dragon Kings. As much as I like Jim Holloway, I believe he's best suited to black and white illustration. It surprises me that The Scaly God cover is up for a vote. The dragon here looks like a stuffed animal to me for some reason. Nothing against Jason Edwards as I do like the bulk of his work so far.

I like them all ... but I voted for Vault of the Dragon Kings as well. For two very simple reasons.

One, it features a dragon.
Two, it's drawn by Erol Otus.

Nothing says "Dungeon Crawl Classics" more to me than that combination.

Including two Erol Otus covers is not fair!

But I had to go with the number 25.

I also really love the Roslof cover (28). But Otus is my all time favourite DnD artist -- except possibly Trampier (who sadly does not work in the field anymore).

I'm partial to DCC #25: Dread Crypt of Srihoz, by Erol Otus. That cover just jumped off the page at me. Good stuff.

I can't believe mine was the first (and so far only) vote for Legacy Of The Savage Kings - that cover just oozes a 'mysterious forest' vibe. Little touches like the moss hanging from the tree branches....the whole thing just screams CREEPY to me, and I like that ambience :)

Actually I pretty much love them all (although Scaly God is a little uninspired); normally I'd go for an Otus cover but the two pictured here are a little too 'close-focused' on the encounter for Srihoz, and the dragon just looks a little goofy to me in Vault. Runner up for me would have to be Jim Roslof's Into The Wild for good, old-fashioned D&Ding.

SRIHOZ RULES!

Umm, not that I'm partial or anything, but blast it all to hell...that cover Erol whipped up for my little ole adventure (Dread Crypt of Srihoz) just KICKS A*S!!!!!! I'm sorry, but there's no competition, there's no chance for anyone else to b-

I voted for Vault of the Dragon Kings. Who doesn't love the classic showdown with a dragon. I'm a bit surprised that Dungeon Geomorphs didn't make it on the list. It has a cool cover that has a bit of everything; humor, treasure, danger, and of course a good old fashion maze dungeon.

I would vote for DCC #25: Dread Crypt of Srihoz. I don't have any reasons as such, but i just liked that poster. Maybe this poster talks about how i play the game.
