D&D (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

In a short 1-minute video, Wizards of the Coast has 'revealed' Dragon Delves, the upcoming anthology of dragon-themed adventures. The video showcases the book's eclectic art styles.

Dragon Delves contains 10 adventurers from levels 1-12, each featuring a different type of dragon. The book is due out July 8th.

I'm reassured by those adventure pages' text. This looks great.

We have some more art from DnD preorder page, i thing its something special, that for sure. But i like the Key Plot Points, Adventure Background and Preparation sections...

This reminds me of No Thank You Evil which I started my daughter on. It was great when she was 5-7 years old. She's to old for it now and prefers to DM d&d now. I guess this is the targeting youth thing Perkins was talking about.

Until you read the text, though. That orange lady with the glasses and the candy cane? She is a neutral evil halfling who sold her brother to a hag who permanently enslaved him.

...in exchange for unlimited candy! Iconic behavior.

I'm on the fence about this one. On one hand I'm hoping it elaborates on the dragon types as the new MM'24 is laughable at the amount of detail it ignored. I had to look in the MM'14 to find dragons age for their category. But with the adventures being built for specific levels makes me feel like I'll probably not run them. I wish they'd create more an adventure guide, ideas, toolboxes rather than pre-determined leveled adventures. Guess I can pre-order it on Amazon and return it if it's not good.

Yeah despite the art style for the adventure it's fairly dark

Only a page of each but I love this new approach. Will be interesting to see how they handle dungeon maps and exploration.

I really dig that… githyanki?

I'm interested that it holds the Eye of Thundera

Wait, so this is a book of NPCs?

(j/k)

This looks great! For my own campaigns, I always try to get a dragon in there as soon as possible, so this would give me lots of ammo for that.

I would definitely be making tweaks to them. I think the over-the-top whimsical fairy tale vibe of the level 3 adventure would be better if every NPC was a gnome. (I love using Gnomes for comedic elements).

For the level 1 adventure: A tiny village of Elves with Dragonborn and Orcs living there? No thanks, they can all just be Elves. And with some new surnames that aren’t all “WordWord”.
