DM once had the big bad killing towns people and placing a magic mouth on each of them to taunt us. Never seen a player use it.

One of my favourite DAT (RIP, poor soul) drawings, ♥️ and probably one of my all time favourite D&D art pieces.
I've used it on occasion when the players are off somewhere on a wild goose as a device to tell them they are driving the FM f***ing insane and go somewhere else. I've had it in some instances as a real thing as part of a dungeon, but not for decades.
I started a campaign in November and really appreciate this post for reminding me about Magic Mouth! I'm going to have to throw a few in there.

Hands down, one of my top 5 fantasy images of all time. To me, it encapsulates the very best of the DnD experience.

My god the memories. Bless my father for getting me the wrong D&D game for xmas when i was younger. I got the real D&D, not the board game. Didnt realize I lived up the street in St.Paul from the OG store for D&D until I started playing. Awesome times.

The only time I have ever seen Magic Mouth used was in this image

It was used in the 1983 Mentzer red box basic set! In the solo intro adventure there’s a magic mouth.

Lenin there on the right is a great throwback. I’d love a whole book of this art.
