New Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide Art and Details Revealed

The marketing cycle for the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide is underway. Wizards of the Coast has released the first video and accompanying article previewing the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide. Wizards has already told fans what's actually in the new 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide, so there's not much in terms of actual new details. The video/article revealed that the Bastion system got another look from designers after its initial Unearthed Arcana playtest, that there will be a DM's Toolkit for everything from "alignment to traps," now arranged in alphabetical order, and that there will be 400 "new and improved" magic items.

The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide will also be the home of rules for crafting magic items and a new Greyhawk campaign setting guide, with a focus on showcasing how Greyhawk can be customized or be used as a model for homemade campaign settings. Finally, the Dungeon Master's Guide will contain a lore glossary and a full chapter about D&D cosmology, the latter of which helps to drive home the idea of the D&D multiverse.


While much of this information was already known, the video and article did show off a LOT of new art, some of which can be found below:

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. 😉
Yeah, I just cannot see how it isn't clear that the Rogue and Fighter are looking at each other and arguing? She clearly has her eyes on in the Dragonborn.

Something weird is going on with the the figure on the left: their arm and leg are doing something weird. I think it would work fine if the figure were not cut off right above the knee, and if the arm were rendered or lit just a bit differently.

It looks to me like she is stepping on part of the well, like it has a lip on the bottom level.
 

The Rogue is looking at the Dragonborn Battlemaster, they seem to be arguing with each other animatedly unawares of what is sneaking up on them.

This picture is great??

I do love that picture, but the art style was not kind to faces with expressions. They look a little uncanny valley for some reason that I can't put my finger on. Maybe the shadows on the creases in their faces are too dark?
 

different picture…

Yeah, I realize that now.

They didn't originally include the picture or a link to a post. They were discussing a picture that wasn't even posted to this thread. Therefore I thought he was discussing the picture from the OP which included a dragonborn standing to one side. Which I included in case I was just confused.

It's an example of why, if you're discussing a specific image maybe include a link to the post or the actual image.
