    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    I agree, except that I much prefer the 2025 reference design to the 3e-4e-5e design of the blue. My only regret about the 5e24 design is that they dropped the ears. If they had kept them it would be near perfect IMO. Also, the black design has always been pretty clear as well.

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    IDK, I think it is much easier to tell a white dragon from a blue dragon than a 3e blue from 4e blue. IMO opinion the differences between 3e and 4e (except for the green which the did specifically change) were entirely differences in artistic style, not design. In fact, what you describe as...

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    There was a standard, it was just that the art direction was less strict about artist following the standard.

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    I guess that could be debated. They look backward to me in the FToD image. I will note that RJ said this: "You may have noticed the somewhat controversial design feature but instead of cowardly ‘fixing’ it, I leaned all the way in." That implies tome that it was a design feature before he got...

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    Just wanted to be clear it wasn't this artist's choice. The design (backward wings) comes from FToD and RJ didn't do that art.

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    Thank you for sharing! The only one I really "like" is the crystal dragon. Of course, i don't really care much about the gem dragons so the fact they are my least favorite doesn't have much impact. It is more of a shrug then move on.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    What did TSR give people for all the bad fantasy the piled on us during...well their entire run really. Whatever that was WotC should match it.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Do we know this? Have we seen the lore being proposed in the book or was it introduced in SCAG? I mean if that is all they do, then sure. But that could just be a starting point for potentially interesting lore couldn't it?

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    The first paragraph certainly has the correct flavor if not the same taste.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    What do you not like? To be transparent I know next to nothing about FR lore.

    D&D General Amazon Links For Adventures In Faerun & Heroes of Faerun already available on US Amazon.

    It seems to me that you are both essentially saying the same thing. 5 gazettes = 5 mini settings = location for 50 1-shot adventures

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate Covers of Upcoming Forgotten Realms Books Revealed

    Wow, I like those covers. I wasn't really planning to get these, but I might have to get them just for these covers. I will definitely take a look at my local store. When are these available?

    D&D General We finally have the actually Page counts for the 2 books

    The adventures book is actually bigger than I thought it would be. That is 480 pages total. That seems pretty meaty. How big was SCAG? Less then just the Heroes book I think.

    D&D General Curse of Tiamat/Rage of A Dragon Queen

    Does the BBEG have to directly interact with them? Can they have a proxy? What levels are you talking about here? Can an interaction be one sided? I feel like this image could become the inspiration for a first interaction with a Scion of Tiamat. The dragon crushing the resistance (aka a gold...
