2024

I believe I read it is 2024, but I will just buy it and confirm - give me 10 minutes

On the D&D Beyond sources page it is under partnered content like all 3PP content, not Sourcebook or Adventure sections which are for official material only. Look down there on the bottom right.

Why? Do you get mad a DriveThruRPG or Barnes & Noble or Amazon because they sell WotC D&D books alongside 3PP books? If you are worried about "mixing" official and 3pp content it is clearly segregated on the Sources page after the official "Sourcebooks" & "Adventures:" This is what I lot...

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.

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.

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).

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

That is so 3e!

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...

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!
