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

While attending Gen Con, I was given an art print of the alternative covers for the upcoming Forgotten Realms books.

The left side of the print is the alternative cover for Heroes of Faerûn, while the right side is the alternative cover for Adventures in Faerûn. The alternative covers are available from local game stores.

You know, that combined art would make for a really nice DMs screen, just saying...

Unbelievably better.

These alternate covers are a lot more appealing than the originals.

It doesn't look like Heroes of the Borderlands, does it?

The two boxes in the picture are the Heroes of the Borderlands starter set on the table, and the D&D Horrified board game on the chair.

Oof, now that's a redemption arc after the disappointing reveal of the normal covers! This art ROCKS.

I wouldn't be opposed to them releasing a DM screen variant using the combined cover images. But it is neat that both the alt covers and the 2024 DM screen BOTH utilize a mural type theme.

Also, I think I realized something: The gold "circle" around Karlach is supposed to represent her engine all revved up for battle.

Can you imagine what the 2024 PHB, DMG and MM would have looked like if they were given the same alternate cover treatment as these two books?
