New FRCG Cover - Finally!

"Welcome to Faerûn, a land of amazing magic, terrifying monsters, ancient ruins, and hidden wonders. The world has changed since the Spell plague, and from this arcane crucible have emerged shining kingdoms, tyrannical empires, mighty heroes, and monster-infested dungeons. The Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide presents a world of untold adventure, a land of a thousand stories shaped by the deeds of adventurers the likes of which Faerûn has never seen before.

This product includes everything a Dungeon Master needs to run a D&D campaign in the Forgotten Realms setting, as well as elements that DMs can incorporate into their own D&D campaigns. The book provides background information on the lands of Faerûn, a fully detailed town in which to start a campaign, adventure seeds, new monsters, ready-to-play nonplayer characters, and a full-color poster map of Faerûn."



Personal comment: Ahh this cover is much better than the previous one. Now we can see Drizzt's eyes in detail. The eye's color and shape are so important for this character, I just get mad when the artist doesn't portray them correctly. Also, I particularly loved his expression in this image, it's a mix of danger, mystery, sorrow and revenge. It's pure Drizzt. It's pure Forgotten Realms.

Is this for real? So drizzit is an androginous anime elf?

Ehh, too old-school. Needs more chibi.

Check today's date and cross-reference it with the common "4e is becoming [anime]" complaint.

Odd, that would make FR better.

That is possibly the most wrong thing anyone could ever say. Nothing will ever need more chibi.

Why not? I really also think this new cover is great, but it really lacks chibi and more flashy effects. I mean, nothing on it shows, how powerful Drizzt is, but in the books, he always wins. He needs his magic scimitars (which are really katanas, as the Europeans just ripped off the Japanese).
Cheers, LT.

I would!

That cover almost makes the Realms seem interesting and mysterious again.

That drow she-male had all the makings of The D&D Mona Lisa.

Or maybe I'm just crazy. Thumbs up

C.I.D.

That is easily the worse cover I have ever seen for a D&D book...
