It's been so long since I've played DnD that when I went to the Amazon page, I saw "Tortle" and had to look that up.

I still have some of my old sourcebooks. I got rid of a lot of stuff before I moved but some of it I couldn't bear getting rid of.

Tortles were first introduced in the X-series modules back in the '80s

The picture below is from x9 from 1985

Must be later editions of Gamma World because that's some terrible, gonzo stuff.

7th ed GW, sometimes colloquially known as GW 4e b/c it was based on D&D 4e.

It was the edition with the horribly-conceived collectible card expansions for varying add-ons, powers, etc

I'm continually gobsmacked at both the talent level and number of artists out there who do this sort of thing.  Kudos to all of them.

I always enjoy a good map with cross hatching but mostly I love the old school blue maps. Nothing says classic AD&D than a good map with blue walls and dungeon iconography.

Hell, we *all* need that. 

About the only thing that's stopping me at the moment, is that I don't care to give Amazon any (more) of my money.  Bezos can suck it.
