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.

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?

To be honest, the spine and cover inconsistency is the main reason why I always get the standard covers anyways... I'm weird like that but I'm sure I'm not the only one

Sad that it didn't happen.

Sad that it didn't happen.

Maybe they can make up for it in a later reprinting of these books?

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?

That really reminds me of Dragon Age Veilguard, with some of in game illustrations and the cards.

Yeah, very reminiscent of Solas’ murals

I think this art style began with Dragon Age Inquisition (e.g. Solas' murals). I haven't played Veilguard yet, but I'm glad to hear it's still around in the latest game too.

Don’t let the internet hate train scare you off, it’s a good game. Personally my least favorite of the four, but still very much worth playing if you like the series.

I’ll get to it eventually. Waiting for Steam’s inevitable bargain bin sale price (like 80–90% off).
