I'm not super fond of the art for the dragonorb. It looks more-knick-knack and less crystal-ball.
Holy crap, this is awesome! I love the story about Vecna and Kas, and how the sword of Kas is the only way to permanently destroy the artifacts. The players then immediately ask "So, where's the Sword of Kas?" And there you go, a free adventure hook.
Did I say definitely? No, I said "invite optimism" when one works for a large publisher and is promoting the next giant release it should not be done with "spare time", in fact one would hope it would be reviewed by at least a couple of people before being sent out on even a small team. But hey maybe you are too new to remember the sometimes shoddy editing of past D&D products or perhaps you just don't notice /s
Anyone notice that artifacts get extra random properties on top of the tailored properties? I find that quite promising
I am disappointed that so much of the preview material seems just so ever slightly altered versions of the stuff in the 1e DMG. It didn't take much work at all to make this book it seems, also the large ugly pieces of art that are just acting as filler distracts from it as well.
