I seen the alternate cover for the PHB but not for any of the others. Does anyone know if they have been released?

DMG yes, MM not yet

Blech! Two thumbs down.

What’s wrong with it for you?

Well...I found that Redgar (poor guy) in the Gelatinous Cube has a thumb that is pointing down...

Also...the Nothic on the Back looks like it's thumb is pointing down...

Hence...two thumbs down...right...

And they can't help that they are so sad about Redgar that they're throwing up. I guess they are really sad and choked up to the point their even vomiting because they are crying so hard.

doesn't disappoint at all; really happy with this cover and throwing that menagerie in the back is a big plus. Is this Jacobsen?

Yes.

As someone else said just the DMG

D&D (2024) - Alternate 2024 DMG Cover features Lolth!

that's a snazzy cover

 

[dave2008]

so just like 5e 2014, 4e and 3e then...

and 2e too!

 

[DarkCrisis]

1e: Dragon, Unicorn, Centaur, Troll, Owlbear, Beholder
1e/Reissue: dragon and unicorn
2e Monstrous Compendium (binder): beholder, displacer beast, umber hulk
2e: Monstrous Manual: Beholder, Lich, thri-kreen, minotaur, dragon
3e/3.5: none
4e: Orcus, Demogorgon and Lolth.
4e Monster Vault: Owlbear
5e: Beholder
5e revised: Beholder, mimic, displacer beast, kraken, ogres, and some type of humanoid

Legit speaking, the beholder has been on more Monster covers than the dragon!

So the game needs to be retitled to Barrows & Beholders?

Can’t wait to play some B&B this weekend on B&B Beyond.

It's even better when you rent an Airbnb for you and your friends!

the compendium did not, the later manual did, so I let that one slide
