So back in college, I played RPGs, mostly versions of D&D. The DMs I played for had a couple of homebrew systems that they had put together, and we switched off between three campaigns on Friday nights. During this time the tradition of drawing invitations for the participants started (and I don’t exactly know who did). I wish that I had started collecting these works of art sooner, but I didn’t. When folks started to graduate, only one of the DMs was local enough to continue to lead a campaign. Dave H continued to draw invites for us as we changed systems and got new characters, moved on to new types of gaming and returned to old favorites.

Though I have my own personal favorites, Dave’s work was always a great joy to receive in my mailbox (both at school and later when I moved into my apartment). It’s a part of Dave’s life that not many people see him employ today. So I’m going to start a project to scan and put them up for others to enjoy. Today’s invite isn’t the first I have or the last or the most intricate (though the horses mane is quite expressive). It’s just one that I like a lot.
