Hi Mark,

Yeh, I think to clarify - the illos the perps using would probably have been
'borrowed' before the Internet gained prominence with a number of UK GMs
(The Isles has been plodding along for about 13yrs so we've got a history of
pics) so there would probably not have been much of a public domain to take
them from.

I remember at the start using PD pics from a scrappy little Atari ST
catalog - very nice Celtic stuff, though the dearth of Dwarves with immense
..err, helmets got a bit boring at times.

As an aide, I reckon Sat big ogre on the ornately carven steps must be THE
classic PBM image of all time these days. Do you still use it? (And who was
the artist?)
