Can you come up with what the essence of D&D is to you in color or texture? Read the article, think about it, and perhaps add your own voice to the discussion! Dragon's Eye View: Color and TextureDiscuss this article here.

Here's me swatch: horse leather, limestone cavern walls, and the Blackadder and Century Gothic fonts for headings and rules text, respectively. Someone in the article comments also posted some green scales and I think that was wonderfully evocative as well.

Nice scales Wrecan!
I'll provide some samples later on but in a general sense...
Textures: Scales, Polished Black Iron, Rusting Steel, Slate Stone, Heavy (Unusual) Leathers, Claws
Fonts: Heavy-weight "rough" serif character sets, Cold Mountain, others I'll get to later
Colours: Black and Gold, Black and Green, Dark Red and Gold...

The emerald-and-gold dragon scale armor by Cerebro1974 and Wrecan above, is awesome. This image by another forumer, imutcheck, is awesome:  Note: gleaming golds (lights on darks), firey hot colors (lights on darks), mystic cool emerald, goldish white stone, and badass black leather.

This is D&D to me:  Some kid with a pencil and some graph paper. Sure, you can make it prettier:   Or add color or whatnot. But when I see those classic lines on the graph paper, it's the most evocative thing I can imagine. I wanna' explore.
