who is suggesting you are a mutant? As far as I have seen you are the only one using such language. Does really surprise you that different people have different opinions and perspectives. I mean just look at the political landscape in the world today. Be can't even agree on facts! Why are you...

That is certainly all possible for them to do. But it does not bother me that it is not provided. I rarely expect people to give things away. It is nice if they do, but I don't expect it. The $1.99 single monster purchase is definitely not the most efficient, but it is cool that they even offer...

Yes, I forgot 5e typically included anything not in the monster manual. Thank you for the reminder.

As others have noted, that has never been the case traditionally. You usually have to purchase the MM for monsters that are in the MM. Only monsters unique to the adventure are included. That has been standard in 5e and I think 3e and 4e, but i am not 100% sure.

Interesting. Planescape can be purchased in pieces.

actually, I agree with @MonsterEnvy , the 5e standard is to refer to the Monster Manual unless the monster is new for this book.

I don't think this is correct. My partner owns all the core rulebooks (and more) on beyond, but they still shop on their marketplace:

I am not sure if it is still this way, but any book on could be purchased in pieces. He is snip from the Candlekeep Mysteries, see below. You can but just the monsters from the book for $9.99 or individual monsters for $1.99. You also have similar options for magic items. You can also buy all...

This whole reply is pretty much my thoughts exactly.

You do need to be careful with that assumption. Hand drawn can easily be digital. Many artist do (or at least did) make digital art like they do traditional art. Starting with a digital sketch (sometimes very detailed) before adding colors, shading, texture, etc. Heck, my partner has purchased...

I just love these articles - thank you so much!

Art in the 1e-3e area was all over the place IMO. There is good and bad. 4e was more consistent and better on average, but not quite my style for a lot of the edition. 5e has been better. Similar consistency to 4e, but more my style. The technical quality of the art has improved over the edition...

Stellar Dragons! How about a 3 million foot long dragon!

Air Dragon 21 Moon Dragon (Lunar Dragon) 22 Radiant Dragon (Celestial Dragon) 17 Solar Dragon 10 - 2 = 8 Stellar Dragon 19 + 1 = 20 Sun Dragon 18

There is a lot bad art in 3.0/3.5 IMO, so I'm not surprised

Doesn't really help to much, but i just found a Jan. 2014 "article" on Wayne Reynolds that described him as one of the last traditional (pen and paint) RPG artists: Art of the Genre

OK, this art, War of the Dragons, from the 4e draconomicon 2 was all digital. So at least by 2009 D&D was using digital art.
