Blog (A5E) Check Out The Dungeon Delver’s Guide Cover Art!

We received the cover art for Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition's Dungeon Delver's Guide this week. This art is by Erik Davis-Heim, and is for a hardcover book we'll be Kickstarting later in the year. We talked a little about our 2022 plans on the offical website here a few weeks ago, but the art there is all placeholder. This is the first of those three book covers (including the To Save A Kingdom adventure and the Voidrunner's Codex) to arrive.

The Dungeon Delver’s Guide includes everything you need to adventure underground! From new player options, equipment, and magic to new Regions and locales for the Narrator, including several pre-made dungeons!

The Kobold cargo shorts are a little strange but its a neat piece.

Well it’s a practical garment and they’re a practical people.

In another thread, Morrus already confirmed we’re getting them even sooner! They’ll be coming in Adventures in Zeitgeist

I know. But since A5e is world-neutral (and therefore compatible with any of O5e settings ), I am still interested in seeing what they'll be like in the Dungeon Delver's Guide. Ditto for any O5e race that hasn't been remade for A5e.

I love the kobolds catching the unhinged door

I actually think the kobolds are carpenters/builders mounting that door - as evidenced by the tools on the ground at the feet of one of them... Could be wrong though!

If the Kobolds are carpenters in this pic, then we could be looking at one of the new backgrounds being offered in this new book.

Cartographer for the Tiefling up front and centre?

whoever drew this adopts kobolds in their campaigns and i support that mentality

I think the notion of making them of draconic stock is interesting, but I still loved the art and the version of them from AD&D where they were more like little bipedal coyote folk. The dog theme was near and dear to me before 5E rolled along... and I do find it hard to justify having both flavours (that would have to have some weird magic to justify them both being called kobolds).

 

[Corinnguard]

At least the Kobolds in O5e and A5e look a lot handsomer than their Pathfinder 2nd edition counterparts.

 

[Corinnguard]

2nd edition Pathfinder Kobold And this is one of the better-looking examples of the Kobolds from that edition. The Kobolds in O5e and A5e look Draconic. The only thing I liked about the 2nd edition Pathfinder Kobold were some of their ancestral feats.

How do we get Dungeon Delver if we missed the Kickstarter?
