"Diegetics", by L. Ron Gygax
The overall party composition is pretty much what you'd expect from an "iconic class" standpoint. Having the rogue as the party leader definitely reminds me that I wish leader/planner was more front and center among the main rogue tropes; the role gets eaten up by bard way too often.
I love, love, love the idea of clerics using "divine magic", which is a way of bargaining with and channeling deities as needed, rather than clerics being a champion of one particular diety. That's a great way to make D&D henotheism more compelling, and present a reason why all clerics use similar magic.
I'm definitely curious to see which races are used for the iconic characters. Making the leader a nonhuman or nonelf would be pretty novel, but I'd doubt they'll do that. My guesses would be a human, an elf (or half-elf), a dwarf, a halfling, and then either a tiefling or a dragonborn.
