There's no feather in the hair so its definitely not an Elmore woman.

Lucky we have other posters here to tell us "what it is all about" in a condescending manner, hey? I mean, let's be honest with ourselves. It is a painting of a man. Elmore knew he was painting a man, it clearly looks like a man's body. It was never anything but. But now they've decided "it...

No one, including Elmore (who painted plenty of woman warriors) is saying otherwise?

But now you can finally play your favourite Michelangelo painting on tabletop!

Because he insists he knows what he painted? How dare the guy.

The magical pools in the Weathercote Woods seem to deliberately evoke the Wood between Worlds seen in the Magician's Nephew. EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it.

Both execution and concept are ridiculous and trite. Sort of a "form and meaning reach ultimate communion" situation.

Yes, I've heard the old "goblins are fey in folklore so it totally makes sense". It's bogus. though. Goblins might be akin to faerie creatures in folklore, but D&D goblins are most decidedly not "folklore" goblins. They are very clearly almost entirely cribbed from the work of Tolkien, an...

Calimsham doesn't strike me as very Albanian or Bosnian.

I'm not talking about timelines in recent settings, I mean keeping characters consistent with timelines or personalities that they may have had in previous years. The "Tasha" part has completely taken over Iggwilv's characterization for example. (Part of them choosing a very strange character to...

But that's not new? Strangers things Demogorgon and Mind Flayer had nothing in common with their D&D equivalents.

You seem to assume WoTC gives a damn about things like "continuity" and "timelines".

So Tasha art is now "draw any woman as long as she has a few tattoos on her face and a witches hat". And what's going on with Mordenkainen's chin....

Good to see Alustriel's been hitting that tanning bed.

I'm glad I picked up Temple of Elemental Evil back when it was (for some obscure reason) free.

Also Rasputin and Iggwilv are half-siblings (and Princess Anastasia and Iuz are cousins!) according to that.
