What I personally think should be the case: Hey we've ignored a very large portion of our customer base, those that have supported the game through thick and thin for decades. Maybe we should provide a tiny amount of content they might enjoy to see if we can win back or retain what remains of...

Greyhawk by a huge margin is my fav D&D setting, I'm sure wotc will butcher it. But if they don't it would be a d&d miracle! It's got everything like about D&D in the setting and it is the main setting we used as kids. I also run to this day as my go to setting when possible.

This is actually more inspiring to me than the 6e phb cover.

Yeah, for me...

Totally, who they heck are these "characters"?! I don't recognize anyone.

Lol! I have for sure have encountered the "Liking Stuff Police"! There has been a lot of really awesome "d&d" art around, even lately with things like Shadowdark, and DCC, but this just seems boring to me. Not feeling the line work, character designs, color choices, lighting angles, etc... It...

Is it acceptable to not like this art? It's just not connecting or inspiring me like previous art has. Then again I'm probably not the target audience for 6e purchases, given I prefer the older styles of d&d, like 1e and 2014 5e, or like Shadowdark or DCC.

I don't have issues with some fantasy female or male gazes in game art. As well personally find a bit of "sexy" here and there fun in fantasy games, not over the top but mixed in here and there, it's fun. I enjoy Frazetta, Elmore and the rest, so for me a Telerie Windyarm mini mixing it up with...

Telerie Windyarm would make an awesome mini, much better in my opinion than this whole fiasco.

Explain the sexist part. What about connecting with the original art as a male, makes that sexist? There are tons of iconic Elmore and other classic D&D women they could have made amazing minis out of. I am 100% all for it, it would be awesome. It's not a woman warrior that is an issue, that...

Agreed, not cool at all.

Because it's not ever really been about inclusion, which would be great. It's all about exclusion, plain and simple, always has been, which continues to be terrible.

The disrespect is stunning and grotesque. It is a male warrior as intended, and always has been. Everything must be ruined, right? That's the end goal, total wasteland.

Needless to say, but I will... I love this! All falling into line... my thoughts on current day wotc, 5e/6e neo-d&d remain intact. Let's see how the paradigm continues to play out. Been waiting for a "change in management" for a long time now.

Actually we have found for years, since 2014, including many epic full campaigns that the 2014 5e has done a great job as a good "middle school" game. But now that DCC and Shadowdark are in full swing and 5e has gone off in a radically different direction than the 2014 version we are thinking...

As much as this is a great idea, I don't think wotc would ever let it happen. I only base this on their own public comments and recent content releases.

Nope, not gonna be happening. I'm sure I'll have access on DDB but we hover around 2014 5e and a bit beyond when we play 5e.

This art does not represent the "D&D" aesthetic we play in our groups. If it represents your D&D aesthetic then that's awesome, enjoy the art that is being maybe specifically for you. We enjoy a more 1e/2e/Shadowdark/DCC/Easley/Elmore/Otus/Frazetta, etc... "D&D" aesthetic for our games, which...

I hear you. You know what is so telling. I just spent the last week at Founders and GaryCon. The vibe and scene was so amazingly positive, the people, games, everything was just awesome. That is the hobby I know and love, and will continue to support as long as I can. My young son played in...

Ok, I personally believe it is wider spread than that. Let's see how "6e" does, sales wise, digital or otherwise. It will be very interesting to see the state of "wotc d&d" in a year or so. The overall state of the hobby and the "state of wotc" are interesting to watch. I see a healthy "hobby"...
