AD&D Parody Module 1

Description

This new project derived from http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/846884/Penelope-Princess-of-Purrsia is based on Dungeons and Dragons module books covers from first and second D&D editions adventures, known for their evocative titles and iconic illustrations.

The cover you can see above was inspired by couple of module books from 1980s, mostly from Greyhawk and Al-Qadim campaign settings. Examples of those covers are listed below:

I've got idea for such picture, when I saw similar parody covers in World of Greyhawk http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip200d.htm , especially those listed below:

- http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip18a.htm

- http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip20a.htm

- http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip26a.htm

- http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip28a.htm

Apart from illustration and layout differing from covers in links above, I've replaced original jokes ( based on jargon understood only by D&D environment ) with humour touching international affairs and certain media from Western pop culture:

- Princess of Purrsia is pun from "Prince of Persia";

- name of the sultan from my module was developed from Iznogud comics ( Harun Arachid ) and Muhtesem Yuezil ( Kebab Effendy );

- "Jihadistan" - because jihad is one of main pillars of Islam;

- "Fraud Dynasty" is the way I nickname Saud Dynasty (because they cheat almost everyone in International politics, with their declared support of NATO and the way they aid terrorists in the Middle East).

Awesome cover design, I also have the same arabian-styled fonts on my pc :)

Thanks, the font is useful for most of Middle-Eastern themed pictures. ;)
