The text next to it reads, "These strange, normally docile creatures corrode ferrous metals, then gobble up the rust they create. In doing so, they have ruined the armor, shields, and weapons of countless adventurers." In the foreground, a multi-colored ten-sided die is featured along with a hand-drawn sword, some numbers, and a monster with eyes on stalks.

"Make a catapult because they are cool. If you are in the position to lay siege to a castle, go ahead and do it...but DON'T MAKE THERMITE." - @djmalenfant.bsky.social during our upcoming Rust Monster episode.
This image is a stylized graphic episode cover for the Dungeons & Dragons podcast, Kill Every Monster.

The image features several distinct elements against a background that resembles aged graph paper:

Title: At the center, the words "RUST MONSTER" are written in a large, stylized font with a dripping effect. The letters have a bright yellow-to-pink gradient.

Creature Illustration: To the left of the title is a detailed illustration of the titular "Rust Monster," a fantastical creature from D&D. It's a four-legged, insectoid beast with a reddish-brown, armored carapace, a maw full of sharp teeth, and two long, feathery antennae.

Photograph: In the upper right corner, there's a faux Polaroid photograph of a man with styled dark hair, a beard, and red-lensed sunglasses. Below the photo, the name "Zac" is written in a cursive script.

Foreground: The bottom of the image is lined with a rocky landscape made entirely of dark purple polyhedral dice (d20s), further reinforcing the D&D or TTRPG theme.

Overall, the graphic combines these elements to create a dynamic and informative cover for a piece of media about a D&D adventure or discussion featuring a rust monster and a guest named Zac.

Tune in TONIGHT for the live premiere of our Oblex episode! We are joined by the amazing @dianaoftherose.com as we take a deep-dive into one of Dungeons and Dragons most interesting creatures. discord.gg/rZy7BKgpNW?e...
A banner image features the word "OBLEX" in large, stylized, multicolored letters (pinkish-purple/orange/yellow gradient). 

In the left part of the image, a figure of a woman, seemingly from a fantasy or role-playing game, is depicted. She is light-skinned with reddish-brown hair and wears a light-brown top and dark-green/brown skirt or trousers, standing within a swirling, crimson, viscous substance. 

A small, photographic-style frame or instant picture includes a portrait of a woman with light-brown/blonde hair. She is smiling and looks directly to the viewer. Beneath her picture, the words "Diana Fay" are written in a simple font.

The background behind the text OBREX and the characters is a pale, grid-patterned paper or background.

At the bottom of the image, there are many stylized, dark purple/indigo broken d20 dice.

A few people have said that these are the same rules used by Mind Flayer from the 2014 book. This is incorrect. The 2014 rules allowed an INT save vs. the Stun effect.

We have been talking about how the handle the Drow episode since day one of the podcast, and we are thrilled that Austin agreed to co-host this one.
Cover of the Drow episode for the Dungeons and Dragons podcast Kill Every Monster.

The central focus is the word "DROW" in large, bold, stylized letters, rendered in a gradient of pinks and yellows. This text is layered over a background that appears to be a textured paper, possibly retro-style graph paper, in muted tones of beige and tan.

Surrounding the word "DROW" are various characters. 

On the left, there is a figure in light, greyish-purple armor, depicted in a three-quarter view, holding a staff.  On the right, a figure in a darker, brownish-grey cloak with similar stylized armor and weapons is present. 

Two smaller, inset photographs of people are displayed in vintage, photo frame-like boxes. One photo shows a woman with curly dark brown hair, light skin, and a friendly expression. The other image shows a woman with dark skin, a light sweater, a confident expression.

The words "KILL EVERY MONSTER" are seen in a smaller font below "DROW,"
