I have been playing with #fonts for the front cover of Return of the Ripper, and I have found two that I really like.
The title text is set in GrandjeanPW. This one is inspired by the types of Philippe #Grandjean de Fouchy (1666–1714), a #French punchcutter and #type engraver.
The strapline is set in Dear Boss, a #typeface mimicing the handwriting in the "Dear Boss" letter received by #ScotlandYard in September 1888 and allegedly written by #JacktheRipper.
Card Name: Erinis, Gloom Stalker
Set: Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate
Description: Deathtouch
Whenever Erinis attacks, return target land card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

@laidbackdm You have all the classics. Against the Cult of the Reptile God was one of the first modules I ever owned and remains a favourite. I have run it many times. My copy is not in as good condition as yours.
Pharoah was another of my early AD&D experiences, but all I have left is the cover.
Some great #JeffDee cover art there on White Plume Mountain, Slave Pits of the Undercity, Tomb of Horrors, and he did interior art on quite a few of the others in your collection.
#JeffDee has completed the #coverart for Return of the Ripper for #DCC #RPG
The acrylics give the image a vibrancy that is impossible to achieve with watercolours. Jeff's use of lighting is incredible—the pale dawn light in the background; the candlelight in the foreground illuminating the hieroglyphs on the obelisk and silhouetting Suzanna's horrified expression as she makes her terrible discovery.
Return of the Ripper for #DCC #RPG is 60% funded!
The most popular reward is the #Collector's #LimitedEdition Hardback, which will showcase the #JeffDee cover art to its best advantage.
#GoodmanGames currently have a sale on all #DnD #3e PDFs on #DriveThruRPG. You can pick up "DC24 Legend of the Ripper" for $1.87.
My upcoming #Kickstarter "Return of the Ripper" is an extended remix of this adventure with brand new cover art by #JeffDee and interior art by #ChrisHolmes and #ArjunaSusini.
