FORBES: Out of the Abyss preview

Article here. Mostly just covers NPCs in the campaign and that's it, along with respective portraits. Have to say, so far it seems like I was watching a Saturday morning cartoon reading about them all

Is that bad? This looks absolutely amazing to me.

Forbes has covered the upcoming 256-page Out of the Abyss with a look at some of the whimsical Alice-in-Wonderland inspired NPCs from the adventure. Characters like Rumpadump & Stool (a myconid and his companion), The Pudding King, the Svirfneblin twins Topsy & Turvy, Prince Derendil the elf prince polymorphed into a quaggoth, Buppido the insane derro, and the ragtag group of Underdark misfits known as The Society of Brilliance (which includes a mindflayer with a missing tentacle, a mute troglodyte scout, and a kuo-toa cleric) all feature.

You can find the full article, along with art and descriptions, here.

And why is Forbes detailing this? Have they done D&D before?

Didn't say it looked bad. But it reminds me of a Saturday morning cartoon. I happen to like many Saturday morning cartoons

Oh ok, I thought you were saying it looked "silly and childish" like a Saturday morning cartoon. Which, granted, many of them are.

Many times. Interviews and press releases.

Thumbs up!

May want to SPOILER tag the link, in case intrepid players click away (nothing too revealing, but still).

You're right but in a very silly and childish way.

Not the direction I want D&D to go.
