Since its first appearance in 1978, Elfquest has touched the spirit of multiple generations thanks to the strength of Wendy Pini's captivating storytelling and dynamic art. Nearly every piece of Pini's original art, sketches, notes and scraps of paper dating back to the conception of her fantasy comic series has been meticulously catalogued and preserved by the artist and her husband-collaborator, Richard. After years of research and with unparalleled access to those files, we present The Art of Elfquest, which represents a complete overview of the very best artwork spanning nearly forty years. Each piece has been meticulously scanned directly from the original artwork and approved by the Pinis. No other collection has featured such a tremendous amount of material being revealed for the first time. HC, 9x12, 304pgs, FC

The remastered 40th Anniversary boxed set of the ElfQuest RPG. Traveling back to the 80s... In 1984 Chaosium partnered with WaRP Graphics to debut its ElfQuest RPG. To help celebrate the 40th anniversary of this iconic fantasy roleplaying game we have partnered once again with the Pinis and Warp Graphics to bring the game back into print. Chaosium has created a deluxe remastered version of this boxed set and its supplements. We feel the Two Moons are aligned just right... What is ElfQuest? ElfQuest is the title of the innovative series of graphic adventures and novels created by Wendy and Richard Pini starting in 1978. In ElfQuest you will find elves and other familiar magical beings depicted in a sophisticated new way. Characters in ElfQuest have real concerns and genuine emotions. Their struggle to survive in a complicated and perilous world is fantasy at its best. "The ElfQuest RPG expands our world with new lands, new characters, and new concepts. We are delighted at the potential for stretching the imagination that the roleplaying game demonstrates. The quest goes on!" - Wendy and Richard Pini Experience the Wonder and Excitement of ElfQuest! Stalk the forest with your wolf-brother... foil the cunning plots of the trolls that lurk nearby...be a daring wolfrider questing for adventure on the mysterious World of Two Moons! Immerse yourself in the ElfQuest saga through the characters you create. You and your friends can replay the stories as they were told or embark upon your own thrilling quests. Find your personal vision of ElfQuest. Bring the beauty, the drama, and the action of the stories to life within the world of your own imagination! What's in the Box? Like all of Chaosium's boxed games it starts with a "What's in the Box?" sheet which tells you what items are included in this Classic Deluxe 2" Boxed Set: * Elfbook - 80 pages of information for the players and the gamemaster. * Worldbook - 40 pages of gamemaster information, including 3 scenarios. * Map of the World of Two Moons - the path of the quest and more is included to orient the adventurers. * Character Sheets - including 11 different types of sheets representing elves and trolls, plus additional blanks for drawing your own characters unassisted. * Sample of Play - teaches you how to play through this exciting rendition of the first episode of the Elfquest saga. * Reference Sheets - cover character creation, the resistance table, combat tables, and other important items for game play. * Dice set - 2D20 and 3D6. * ElfQuest Companion - 40 pages of new characters, background, and 3 scenarios. * The Sea Elves - 48 pages on the Sea, its creatures, Sea Elves, and 3 scenarios. * Elf War - 40 pages featuring 2 linked scenarios. This Deluxe edition is more than a reprint, and we have a number of new things going into the game box. A lot has happened in the World of Two Moons over the last 40 years - new creatures, new characters, new lands. With everything we want to include, using a 1" box like the original game no longer works. Thus, we have created a new 2" thick box for this Deluxe version. Which edition of ElfQuest is this? *Chaosium’s first edition of ElfQuest was a boxed set and its popularity led to three printings in 1984. The second edition of ElfQuest was done as a perfect bound book in 1989. So what changed between the two editions? The short answer is somewhat embarrassing... The contents didn't really change... Most people see a 2nd edition logo and expect to get a game significantly adjusted and/or improved from the 1st edition. Surprisingly, that didn’t happen, not even close. Chaosium took every page of the ElfQuest boxed set and every page of the ElfQuest Companion and put them all into a single book. The only new content consists of twelve full-page color portraits, and two full-page black and white pieces of art from the comics. The one page of errata included in the 2nd and 3rd printings of the boxed set and the 3 pages of errata from the ElfQuest Companion ended up in the back of the 2nd edition book, with none of it incorporated into the text. Almost 99% of the 1st edition layout was re-used as-is. Only the page numbering was changed, along with a few reformatted headings. Back in the 1980s most smaller RPG Companies didn't use computers to do the layout of their books. They did them on two-page cardstock story boards where they would physically cut and paste typed columns of text, tables, and art individually. If you wanted to change something you usually had to cut it from the page or paste something on top of it. Alas, the original storyboards for ElfQuest have been lost to the mists of time, so we can't show you a sample from any of the originals. Fortunately, this Deluxe version allows for the best features of the boxed set and the new art from the perfect bound book. The stapled (saddle-stitched) Elfbook, Worldbook and ElfQuest Companion books can lay flat for easier use. Combining all the GM and Player information, especially all the scenarios, into the 2nd edition book worked awkwardly at best. Thus, we shifted back to the multi-book format. And, lastly, we fully incorporated all of the errata into the text!

In full color for the first time, Dark Horse presents the original ElfQuest by Eisner Award Hall of Famers Wendy and Richard Pini. In the third book of the original ElfQuest saga, the Wolfriders encounter the Gliders of Blue Mountain! "Blue Mountain, lair of the Bird Spirits." With these words Cutter and Skywise imagine their quest to find other elfin allies may be close to completion. The companions have no idea their hopes will be upended. For imperious Lord Voll rules Blue Mountain and the hawk-riding elves who dwell within, and he wishes no intrusion upon his Gliders' isolated way of life. Yet even Voll's resistance pales before the hostility of the true power in Blue Mountain-treacherous, seductive Winnowill. Shape-shifter, pain-giver, she will stop at nothing to prevent the Wolfriders from threatening her invisible hold on the Gliders. HC, 7x10, 192pgs, FC
