Not as much a fan of the dragonborn, but the paladin and rogue are much more evocative in these illustrations. Makes me even more dissatisfied with what was done with them in the piece under dispute. I'll stop arguing about the rest. 😉

My apologies, I assumed you were messing with me--insisting that the purple-haired person is looking sideways at the dragonborn, when we can see her eye, see where it's pointed, and see that it's clearly not directed at the dragonborn, and then adding more detail on the character classes (this...

Haha I blew it up, and yes, I missed that the dragonborn is inspecting a bud on the branch of a tree or bush. Or a magic stick. 😉

I think you have looked at the page layout or something, because you clearly have access to context that I don't. I'm trying to see how the purple-haired person is looking at the dragonborn, and...to my eyes, they're very clearly looking at something out of frame, not the dragonborn. If they had...

I did...I don't think the dragonborn staring at its fingernails is having a conversation with anyone? Also not as goofy looking. 😉

Cool, but you responded to my post and that isn't the illustration I was referring to. ETA: Looking at it again, the white-haired woman (?) appears to be paying attention to the dragonborn, probably. The purple-haired person appears to be pointing at the dragonborn but looking at something out...

Y'all are crazy, but I love you. 😂

Did you really? You saw the headline, and this is what you thought Penguin Random House was publishing? 😉

Start your own threads about subjects you are interested in. Engage with the Level Up forum. Your ongoing commentary on the new books is not what I would call "engaging with the community." Whatever is new, you're not interested in it. Whatever is in the book in question, you dislike. Whatever...

Au contraire! You'd talk about how this time you were actually going to continue the campaign into domain play, obsess over the floorplan, furnishings and staff of your keep for a few weeks, come up with some goals and plans, then retire your character and make a new one.

Just read the whole thread, and while the usual posse shows up, it's genuinely a bit stunning how much one person with no interest in the new books dominates every single one of these threads about the new books. I'd hate to block someone with whom I share many gaming interests and preferences...

If the fire giant could demonstrate a bit less stoicism, I might have him react to what the mind flayer is communicating. On that note, perhaps we could also talk about the goofy dragonborn having a casual conversation with two people, neither of whom appears to be listening to a word he's...

Really cool piece, but... Why is the mind flayer whispering in the fire giant's ear? Doesn't he have, like, better options for discreet communication?

I think all of the artists we've seen are very talented. I can't say I'm a fan of the art direction, overall.

I think it's okay for new players to get better at the game as they gain experience AND I think it's fine to leave out modular features if they bog your game down too much, especially in an introductory campaign. I'm glad weapon masteries were added to D&D. If they're not pulling their weight...

I started in 1980 so most of my experience with classic D&D was with AD&D. In large, higher level (i.e. above 5th) parties with few clerics, it routinely took multiple "rest days" for the cleric(s) to memorize and cast enough healing spells to restore the party's hit points. This was routine. I...

IME this entirely depends on the number of clerics in relation to the number of PCs and their level. And of course it's not just rolling the dice, it's counting up the results and allocating the healing, checking the resulting status, resting and casting some more. I don't want to overstate...

Yes, this is definitely where we have different preferences. I'd just as soon they use those days adventuring and/or performing downtime activities. I can still pace the campaign appropriately. We don't need to sit at the table waiting for the cleric player to roll dice to do that. I would...

This I concur with wholeheartedly. I think you can have ample downtime and pace the campaign appropriately, but I don't think a particular model of rest and healing is required to do it.
