D&D Imaginings
In answer to James Maliszewski's question in Grognardia, "When you think about Dungeons & Dragons, the cover of what product comes first to mind?" my answer is:
The Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set edited by Tom Moldvay, circa 1981, with cover art by Erol Otus.
Other images that initially spring to mind are the various books of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 1st Edition, especially the Monster Manual with the cover by David C. Sutherland, the Player's Handbook with cover art by Dave Trampier, Deities & Demigods with cover art by Erol Otus, and, to a lesser extent, the Dungeon Master's Guide with cover art by David C. Sutherland.
The internal illustrations that were most evocative of fantasy adventure to me were those of Dave Trampier, Erol Otus, Russ Nicholson (in the Fiend Folio), and Darlene.

Cuplog by Any Other Name
I am contemplating a new name for Cuplog. I could just make it the main page of Cuparius.com and call it Cuparius.com, but I am hesitant to do so because Cuparius.com was around long before this Web log and I can't shake the feeling that they are two separate entities. I've never been satisfied with the name "Cuplog," however. It lends itself too readily to mispronunciation on the order of Klingon swearwords, e.g. "kuh-PLAHG!" I am considering three alternatives:
If you have a preference, please leave a comment here. If you have a suggestion for another name and I choose it, I will give you credit in the About page. Cuplog is ready for a reincarnation of nomenclature.
