Green Dragon

[Daniel D. Fox]

Hmm. I don't understand what the problem is - who the heck cares what it looks like on paper?! Just describe the damn thing however you please in your campaign world. Surely, there are larger issues to toss a fit about beyond the artwork for the Green Dragon.

The two most distinctive things about the old green was it's single frill and crocodile-like mouth, It looks like they tried to retain the mouth at least. Maybe we're seeing the mini from a bad angle and it just looks like a massive bucket of suck. One can hope.

Sorry, I'm just in rant mode today. My pastor and I are having an argument in his blog about whether or not the Transformers movie sucked. I am really feely opinionated and crazed.

Well, I hate to say it, but I think you gotta go with your pastor on this one. He's got the power of God behind him, and could probably smite you.

Wait, er . . . sometimes I have trouble distinguishing the D&D world from the real world . . .

They should have broght Lockwood to re-design the new Green. The new one looks really, really bad.

Yep... no prob.

My thoughts on the 4E Green dragon:
The art used for the 4E Character Sheets: awesome, except for the nose horn
The DDM cover art: looking weirder, where did those cheek horns come from? They're worse than the nose horn.
The mini: love the body and wings. (Wait a minute... the wings attach over its rear legs? Odd.) The head... way too narrow and goofy looking... I'll withhold final judgement until I have mini in hand (dearly hoping that its just a really bad angle on the pic we have.)

I prefer the page 10 art - that's probably the best picture of the Green so far, then the Character Sheet kit cover art, then the DDM cover.

But the miniature gah...

And being more serious its only the head that is terrible on the miniature when you look at it on page 8.

Of the miniatures shown in the book it and the Goblins (which I'm hoping are actually Hobgoblins) don't appeal - and I have plenty of both so its not an issue.

I always thought that the blue dragon with a goofy horn was one rhino-dragon too many, but this green dragon just looks silly to me. It looks like a stuck-on cone on its nose rather than a serious, organic horn. It looks at completely the wrong angle.

Unless, perhaps, it mated with a swordfish at some point?

I'll be right back.

C'mon Klaus, I wanna see what you've got going there.
