TSR released calendars featuring art from their classic illustrators. These used calendars are a fantastic way of collecting old school RPG art.

Did you know that an old calendar can be reused? Yep. I’ll have notes below about which future years correspond to past years. The days of the week line up, as well as some of the holidays.

Many RPG calendars at our sales site
