The Tavern Chat Podcast - Episode 67 - There's a Succubus Holding a Monster Manual!


Ah, the beauty of late 70's / early 80's advertising. She could have been on a Ratt album cover back in the day ;)
You fiend! Yep, that IS a Succubus holding a Monster Manual. Who would have thought? With this episode, I look at demons & devils in the AD&D 1e Monster Manual and my personal experience with the Satanic Panic from back in the day ;)

  2. Is that Elise Gygax? I know she appeared in some of the other TSR ads of the period, and was smoking hot in all of them.

  3. Looked at through today's full-frontal-filter, hard to believe that illustration ever caused controversy. They went out of their way to conceal/cover everything!
