The above image is a screenshot of p. 60 of Dreamscape Design's BLUEHOLME Journeymanne Rules, a retroclone of the 1977 J. Eric Holmes edition of Dungeons and Dragons. I recently purchased the Journeymanne Rules and, while I have yet to fully digest them, I thought that this lovely pairing of sample combat and illustration merited comment. Old school D&D has lots of wonderful examples of play (RIP Frederik and Black Dougal), but I don't recall ever seeing one accompanied by a step-by-step, correspoding illustration before. Kudos to Michael Thomas (the writer) and whichever of his artists came up with this pleasant surprise!
