These Icelandic images by Filip Hrebenda are quite striking, especially the first, which depicts a dark island beneath the green bands of a night-sky aurora. That particular image feels like it is right out of a fantasy story. #writingcommunity #dnd #photography #art #D&D 📷: Filip Hrebenda

The Remonstering is only two weeks away! Are you ready? Pre-order REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING today and have it in your hot little hands the day it hits shelves, Tuesday, Oct. 6! www.spyandowl.com/re...

The cover of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING: Five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid. The cover is accompanied by text reading, "Two more weeks! Pre-order now!"

The photo is award-winning image (Norway) by Filip Hrebenda. It holds that evocative sense of adventure inherent in Romantic-era paintings, the fog a curtain presenting the threshold into unknown. #writingcommunity #dnd #photography #art #D&D 📷: Filip Hrebenda 🖌️: Caspar David Friedrich (1818)

This image is by photographer Filip Hrebenda.

The photo might as well be in grayscale.

It is dreary and full of fog. Like islands in a sea, slanted peaks of rock erupt from the mist, stretching from the foreground to the background.

In the foreground is a canyon with a natural arch. Mist and light pour through the arch. From a protrusion of rock right behind the arch stands the photographer himself, a distant figure with a red backpack.
