Sorry what? I honestly don't see how you can say that. Parkinson and Hilldebrandts, and Elmore were prolific even among Bookcovers outside of TSR. The pool of talent is no greater now than it was then.

The 4e FRCS was laid out well and had good information. I prefer the more encyclopedic 3rd edition CG but I have lots of resources to draw from to fill out the areas. I just really hated the 4e change to lore for the 4eFRCG

THE 4E Forgotten Realms changes caused me to ditch the entire 4e line. Went to Pathfinder and left WOTC behind. 5e didn't do enough to fix the Forgotten Realms. 5e FR was kind of like Rise of Skywalker fixing all of Rian Johnsons bad decisions in The Last Jedi. But it was enough for me to...

Yep this is always the way. Its just smug toxic positivity which is no more helpful. Franchises love to have fans that complain about their things. It drives marketing. IF something is good the fans are just as apt to let the makers know it.

Mistake

It was as serious as you wanted to make it. It had those aspects but it also had dark and brooding aspects. Just like you had Castle Greyhawk mocking module in Greyhawk.

That's the trend with the 20245e

Xanathar has already been made a cartoon by the quips they published in Xanathars. If they can't get rid of the 5e2024 art I really hope they stop putting In game Character Tweets in the rulebooks like they did with Fizban and Xanathar. Quotes are fine. The Xanathar one's were really awful.

How is this "appeal to authority"? You're using expertise.

There is alot being conveyed in this image though. They just had a successful battle so theyre happy about that. They're making camp. There is something going on. The new covers are glam shots. Plus this wasn't the first selling point for a book like the FR covers are.

Its like an in game tome revealing knowledge of the world. I like the 3rd edition Forgotten Realms covers more than the 3rd edition standard covers though.

BG3 characters on the cover will draw lots of extra sales. I think anyway.

For the technology of the time this art is just as good as what we are getting now.

Wizards of the coast is really over compensating for representation. It is STARK how much they are overcompensatiing. Even under Human species in 2024 you have 1 white human represented and they are the example for a Small Human. 5th edition itself in 2014 had a very good representation of...

Steven Schend put her in there. A prolific FR Designer and Author.

A lich queen that looks like a lich. Adventurers that look like they are adventuring and not walking down the street to a bar or walking in a parade. The characters are all fine, and I think the BG3 characters look good. Jarlaxle lloks awful and the Lich Queen looks like she won a beauty...

The good thing about this book is Ed Greenwood is doing alot of the writing. I am now worried with the "Character point of view" that he was not as involved in writing as I thought. The art I can ignore. I'm REALLY hoping for alternate covers. This Lichqueen doesn't even look like the BG3...

That's the trend with the art of 5e 2024. Unfortunately. 5e 2024 is a great ruleset but my god the art is awful. Skillfully done I'm not going to lie. I lay alot of the blame on the current Art Director. Too bad she didn't leave for Daggerheart instead of Perkins and Crawford.

Great... Now I have to buy TWO of them because my Daughter is going to abscond with the Players guide with Karlach on the front. I'll literally never see the book when I need it. But I'm hoping for alternate covers because this art is cartoonishly bad.

As many people are unfortunately finding out, the UCC Form seems to be able to Increase their priority in bankruptcy as well. There must be a strong inconvenience to this UCC. Because what I am reading is that mostly all small consigners don't bother. And for MArvel comics not to is insanity...
