D&D (2024) Happy *THIS* Dungeon Masters Day!!

How does it stack up to Art & Arcana?

I got mine W&R yesterday. I love the cover . Good mix of art from all editions. The two bad thing are no maps of the world's and no darksun. that's a big miss. Also I haven't read any of the words. Why would I with such stunning art?

Also some art I'd never seen before. Page 121 Cool piece not credited to any book or year. Most of the stuff has credit for artist, book it's from, and year, so maybe this is from books yet to be released?

Overall I'm happy I picked it up.

Care to share the piece, for crowdsourcing...?

Glad to hear it works as an artbook: really too bad about the maps, seems the perfect wxcuae to show them off.

On the other hand, they could do a whole 4th coffee table book just about cartography acroas 50 heara of D&D, and I would but that.

@Queer Venger since you have a hard copy of the DMG, I'm curious - can you please look at the section on Dungeons in chapter 3 and see if the fourth sentence reads differently to this garbled one in the DDB version?

"Because of their origins and purposes, dungeons have a range of think about its distinctive qualities."

Thanks. I thought maybe something got deleted that smooshed two different sentences together, but it looks more like some words got accidentally added. Glad to see it's just a DDB error and not one in the print book as well.

There's the rub: for the 2014 book, you had to known what was available, and where to find it. This new book tells yoy where stuff is!

My Worlds & Realms is in the mail, really looking forward to it. How does it stack up to Art & Arcana?
I like it better because it has a lot of lore about each of the campaign worlds and also a short fiction story. This book has actual practical use at a game table, no matter what edition you play.

It is also very large so the art really stands out.
You'll be really glad you got it. Only omission is Athas is not included, but then again the younger generations don't remember the glories of Dark Sun (controversial setting as it was).
