Who did this one? Awesome.

What factions are those?

Top center: Bleak Cabal
Top Right: Dustmen
Bottom Left: Godsmen
Bottom Center: Xaositechts
Bottom Right: Society of Sensation

Top Left is a mystery. Possibly a new one for the Mind's Eye or something.

This art is amazing.

I am suspicious of the adventure. It's starting off like PS:Torment, which is objectively a great way to start a game, but it feels a bit like "Hey, remember this thing you liked?", which is weak sauce. You ain't PS:Torment, this ain't the 90's, what's it doing here? Maybe something interesting. Hopefully, something interesting.

"Did you like Three Kobolds In A Trench Coat? Then you'll love this year's sequel, Cranium Rat Swarm In A Trench Coat!"

From what I'm reading elsewhere, it's a Morte cameo and won't be following PS:T from there - it will be its own thing.

Anyone else notice the Octadron is holding a teddy bear? And a walkie-talkie/flip phone?

Pretty weaksauce, if all it is is a cameo. That's some real weak superficial nostalgia-bait.

Based on the lengthy press preview, it seems that Morte does not.play a major ongoing role. But the mechanics of shifting characters as they die and come back might alloe.for.some very different Adcenture design. I'm intrigued.

I had been leaning towards not buying it, but that art is definitely tempting me.

My problem is that I kind if want both DM screens? And both sets of covers? I'm just going with the special edition...but dang I like those paintings on the standard set covers and DM screen.

There's all kinds of cameos across the existing adventure books (ex., Mordenkainen in Curse of Strahd, Dragonbait in Tomb of Annihilation, etc.). They've been doing this sort of thing for years already.
