Not as much a fan of the dragonborn, but the paladin and rogue are much more evocative in these illustrations. Makes me even more dissatisfied with what was done with them in the piece under dispute. I'll stop arguing about the rest. 😉

My apologies, I assumed you were messing with me--insisting that the purple-haired person is looking sideways at the dragonborn, when we can see her eye, see where it's pointed, and see that it's clearly not directed at the dragonborn, and then adding more detail on the character classes (this...

Haha I blew it up, and yes, I missed that the dragonborn is inspecting a bud on the branch of a tree or bush. Or a magic stick. 😉

I think you have looked at the page layout or something, because you clearly have access to context that I don't. I'm trying to see how the purple-haired person is looking at the dragonborn, and...to my eyes, they're very clearly looking at something out of frame, not the dragonborn. If they had...

I did...I don't think the dragonborn staring at its fingernails is having a conversation with anyone? Also not as goofy looking. 😉

Cool, but you responded to my post and that isn't the illustration I was referring to. ETA: Looking at it again, the white-haired woman (?) appears to be paying attention to the dragonborn, probably. The purple-haired person appears to be pointing at the dragonborn but looking at something out...

Y'all are crazy, but I love you. 😂

Did you really? You saw the headline, and this is what you thought Penguin Random House was publishing? 😉

Start your own threads about subjects you are interested in. Engage with the Level Up forum. Your ongoing commentary on the new books is not what I would call "engaging with the community." Whatever is new, you're not interested in it. Whatever is in the book in question, you dislike. Whatever...

Au contraire! You'd talk about how this time you were actually going to continue the campaign into domain play, obsess over the floorplan, furnishings and staff of your keep for a few weeks, come up with some goals and plans, then retire your character and make a new one.

Just read the whole thread, and while the usual posse shows up, it's genuinely a bit stunning how much one person with no interest in the new books dominates every single one of these threads about the new books. I'd hate to block someone with whom I share many gaming interests and preferences...

If the fire giant could demonstrate a bit less stoicism, I might have him react to what the mind flayer is communicating. On that note, perhaps we could also talk about the goofy dragonborn having a casual conversation with two people, neither of whom appears to be listening to a word he's...

Really cool piece, but... Why is the mind flayer whispering in the fire giant's ear? Doesn't he have, like, better options for discreet communication?

I think all of the artists we've seen are very talented. I can't say I'm a fan of the art direction, overall.
