    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    It is very indicative of AI art. Very bland background. Odd facial features. If you thinks it’s cool why not have it replace your Warduke pic? That would make a statement for sure. 👍

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Worst art I havee seen since dwarves baking. 5E2024 art is terrible. This shows nothing about Forgotten Realms. Just a goofy elven wizard laughing at you for paying money for this bad AI art.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    That is actual art that denotes fantasy and adventure. I would rather they recycle that than the new art they paid for.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    I disagree. Based upon interpretation you can look at the lone rider as a messenger, threat, mystery, ally or any other myriad possibilities. The new players guide looks like influencers desperately trying to be hip or edgy. Nothing about the new art inspires me to pick up the book. It inspires...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Well art is subjective but I find it amusing that that your pic is pretty bad 1e art. 😂 Warduke rocks!

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    I disagree. AI art has nothing on classic TSR art and does not hold up to pre 4E WOTC art or MTG art. The poor quality of D&D art is mostly 4E and 5E 2024 art. Coincidentally this is also the time frame that AI art became available easily on the mass market. Most D&D fans are against AI art and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    I disagree because I have seen numerous art that is AI and it shares these characteristics. Do you know for sure this isn’t AI art? WOTC has been busted for AI art before and management has been on record previously for being enthusiastic about AI art because it’s one less person they have to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Because it had no feeling to it. Old D&D art had the sense of mystery, danger and adventure. The character in the DM guide for the realms has a goofy grin as if to say”Wow, sucker,. You actually bought this?” Karlack next to Minsk next to Jarlaxle next to a wizard doesn’t fire up my imagination...

    Wow these covers look cheap and AI workups.WOTC’s artwork has really fallen off.

    WotC Hasbro Has Invested $1B In Video Games, Including A New D&D Game

    If it’s like Baldur’s Gate it will be great. It it’s another Dark Alliance then it’s money down the drain.

    D&D General Ravenloft: Monsters vs Darklords

    The difference between a Darklord and a monster is motivation. Darklords are punished for personal, emotional crimes. A golem or the Tarrasque can never be a Darklord. So you use a Darklord when you want to tell a story. You use a monster when you want to create an obstacle for the party to...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I checked out after curse of Sthrad which was terrible. I have nothing but contempt for the D&D design team when it comes to adventures. A disjointed book filled with walls of incoherent text, large stretches of railroading and hurried milestone jumps to get you the level where you can finally...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I think that is a huge flaw. My favorite D&D fictional character is Tanis Half-Elven. I could relate to him as an awkward teen. To see how he handled prejudice and illogical hatred for nothing he did but because of who he was made me much more aware of injustices that others suffer and given me...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    We can speculate but I think it’s telling how they are all heading to the life boats after wrecking as many campaign settings as they could. Spell Jammer was a joke, they totally missed the spirit of Dragon Lance and Ravenloft. Now they exited right before Ebberon hits the stores. The design...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    HEY, if they want to turn into the McDonalds of gaming with the same flavorless menu they can expect the same profits that McDonalds has now. Very little.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I have not seen anything for Ravenloft indicating that the domains have been substantially reconfigured. It’s really bad on WOTC to do this. No wonder the majority of the updated rules team has left.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I really don’t like the party composition and really think it reflects a lack of understanding in the Ravenloft setting. Most domains in Ravenloft aside from Sithicus were very human centric. This party would be viewed as a band of monsters that would be barred entry everywhere. It’s so...
