    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    I feel this statement is misleading as it implies that the Cthulhu Mythos was not already in 5e. I am sure there are others, but Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos (anyflip link) came out in 2018 for 5e. It is quite an interesting book IMO with interesting boss monster mechanics.

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

    Like I started with, everyone is different (and that is OK). The mock book covers just screamed fake/cheap/not serious to me. However, I came from the 1e era so maybe I was also biased by covers I came to game with.

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

    I'm not a social media guy and really only "discovered" the world of youtube about 6 months ago. Video games are not one of the subjects I consume on that platform (or any other one really).

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

    I really haven't played video games since the late '80s / early '90s. So unless it is 30-40 years old it is not really on my radar!

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

    I would say it is you, but I then realize I never play video games and really have little to no idea what they look like these days!

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

    I prefer the player's guide myself, but I don't think either of these are winners IMO. Neither of them sell me on the book, so to me that is a failure.

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

    Not my experience with AI art. In fact, I generally dislike AI art because is so bland and derivative. That, and is generally horribly at making dragons.

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

    I'm just curious, what do you like about the mock book look? For me, it just screams "this is fake" and takes me out of the mindset I'm trying to get into. However, I realize that is my issue. So what works for you about the mock book approach.

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

    I mean everyone is different, but I am surprised someone wouldn't ask "What the hell is that?" For me I really disliked the faux book covers. I also didn't care for the inside trade dress, again faux book look, or stat block presentation either: There is really nothing a like about these...

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

    My goodness I am a 180 from the opinion. The 3e trade dress and graphic design are one of the major things that kept me away from that edition!

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

    Not really interested in more types of dragons, just more images, videos, stats, minis, etc. of dragons. I would also get behind a genetically engineered dragon - maybe we can crowdfund that! :p

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    I mean DnD Beyond has offered digital only content (usually free) for D&D supplements for years. Some of which was also downloadable in PDF format. If this a move to have more of that I am all for it!

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

    I also prefer the Sword Coast cover for many of the same reasons you list, but I don't think either of them is particularly good. Cover art should attract me and tempt me to purchase the book. Neither of those covers do that for me.

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

    Dragons, always more dragons. IDK, maybe a map of FR or similar landscape overview for the Adventures book. Focus on the setting not the characters. For the player's guide it is a little to cartoony for my taste, but I don't find it offensive or anything. It wouldn't stop me from buying it...

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

    What paywall are you talking about? I clicked on the link in the OP and went right to the article. I don't have a subscription to Game Informer,* so no paywall I can see - or are you talking about something else? *This wouldn't be a WotC paywall if it was a paywall anyway.

    Paizo Partners with Titan Forge and MyMiniFactory to Offer Premium STLs and Print-On-Demand Miniatures

    I have no idea. My desire only comes from whether or not I like the monster design. For example, I like most of the new 2024 dragon designs. I've already pre-order the black and red minis. Now, if they offered STLs of those designs I could print them to whatever scale I wanted and even...
