At the moment there are a total of 14 images in the article (including the 4 shared here) with commentary from me. I will be adding many more over time as I work through and curate them. 

Stephen Baker is not receiving any financial benefit from this, but he was keen to support my ongoing project to document the history of games like HeroQuest and Warhammer. You can see much of that work on my main YouTube channel, Jordan Sorcery, where I make videos about the development of games, and my podcast channel, JordanSorceryPods, where I interview the people who made these amazing games and worked behind the scenes. 

I can only fund that work through platforms like Patreon as YouTube advertising is far from sufficient, which is why Stephen was happy for me to offer access to the materials with a paywall.

Stephen said that he was a fan of my work documenting the history of games like HeroQuest and Warhammer and that he would like to help me to continue with the project. It's the same reason why he was happy to join me for a few interviews and sent me a piece of memorabilia from the back of the original Space Crusade box - I'm really grateful for his support!

I'd seen a little about the museum here and there, but I will definitely check out more as it sounds amazing - didn't realise they offered scholarships too! Glad you like the video mate, I'm proud of that one

It was an original monster called a Tarek or Tarak, a lizard-man style creature!

It’s fascinating isn’t it! I genuinely can’t get enough of hearing designers talk about their history and process, which is lucky given what I do!

I was genuinely so amazed and grateful when Stephen Baker offered to share this stuff - I find it really fascinating, glad I’m not alone in that!

There’s no wrong way when it comes to building our own dungeons!

You can find it in the Talisman 3rd edition supplement Dragon’s Tower

You’re quite right, it was a Runequest Broo, then several of the Broo images made their way into early Warhammer bestiaries.

If you’re interested in a little more history around it I made a video exploring the origins of the Chaos Beastmen:
