Sculpts over drawings, every time.
I'm between games at the moment, but all four of the last groups left me satisfied with the table. The rules, not quite so much over time hence "between games", and for one group things ended as half the table graduated and moved away which just happens with college students. Even grads leave...
Honestly, I'd've suggested "blood of a nestle-cock" instead, but so few people will know the term that it might be taken as unreasonably offensive.

"Is that a ball of bat guano?"
I couldn't even make the art out, it's so dark. Something wrong with the 4E MM cover instead? At least you can see Tubbs in all his glory in that one. :)
The fact that you think D&D monsters were illustrated in color in the old days shows how young you are. This is your daddy's dretch, kid.
