Or something you experience late? Back when I was a comics fan I was told to be blinded by nostalgia for my childhood fave....from a comics I've only read year prior to the conversation and was not part of my childhood whatsoever. One of these strawman arguments that made me leave comic fandom.
By my hand.So it turned out my guesstimation made two years before 5E got released was a little off.
Okay... how bout we re-write it then...
Whether the Revised 5E "reunites" the player base or not... it doesn't matter. 6E will be released in 5 years time regardless.
Oh, you're THAT sort of elder millenial, the ones who want to be GenX without the "meh."
I am currently a full time undergrad despite being almost 50, and the number of 90s band t-shirts on campus is disconcerting. Both my kids are Zees, but they wholly reject everything GenX.
Snarking and sarcasm are also part of the GenX legacy.
Or Generation Sex as The Divine Comedy would call us.Snarking and sarcasm are also part of the GenX legacy.
I just think Venger looks like a dork, and Warduke looks like He-Man's evil twin or something. I don't care if Gen Xers find them appealing. I'm an elder millennial, and I am entitled to have a cover that appeals to me.
I'd love a cover by Clyde Caldwell or Larry Elmore. That would be a real celebration of D&D's history in my book.
I don't mind Tyler Jacobson's art style in general. I think it's mainly the colors of these new pieces that I don't like - they're too pastel / washed out for my tastes. I want bolder colors. I also want more action. I didn't really like the overly orange coloring of the 2014 PHB, but at least it has some action on it.
I do not want adventurers having tea parties with dragons on my D&D book covers. Thank you just the same.
Probably. Rose colored glasses are steadily turning it into the Best Edition Ever.
