D&D 5E - Two New D&D Books Revealed: Feywild & Strixhaven Mage School

Amazon has revealed the next two D&D hardcovers! The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is a feywild adventure due in September, and Curriculum of Chaos is a Magic: the Gathering setting of Strixhaven, which looks like a Harry Potter-esque mage school, set for November...

They need to dial back on some of the faux-Asian stereotypes. You can have honorable and disciplined inhuman warriors without cribbing from real world peoples to do it.

True. Which is why I lean more to the Klingons in Hobgoblin portrayal. But I love me some samurai and kung fu monks though. Or the Battle Nun.

A bit of a let down, this alternate cover when compared to the beautiful alternate Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft.

One looks like a student's graphic design project. The other like a classical painting that is setting appropriate.

I'll agree with you there in the aspect that if I had to choose which one to have an alternative cover or not, I would've preferred Strixhaven to have it instead of Witchlight.

But I guess Candlekeep's Alternative cover kinda took that sthick away so yeah.

Those cover arts don't give me overt fey overtones

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight will be a wait for the post play reviews book for me... at best.

Any ideas on what the fancy gentleman in the top hat is supposed to be?

A Hobgoblin of the Feywild?

 

[Marandahir]

While I agree, besides the appearance of their armor, I always got more of a Roman Empire* vibe from them, more so than samurai.

*Roman Empire by way of Caesar's Legion in Fallout: New Vegas, really.

And I always thought it was more Uruk-hai inspired. Like bred for war. Of course, that was the backstory of Half-orcs in 4e, too…

 

[Parmandur]

A fey hobgoblin from the UA?

Shadar-Kai, most likely.

 

[Urriak Uruk]

Shadar-Kai, most likely.

Seems way too bulky for a shadar-kai (they are elves after all). Could be a hobgoblin, but I'm wondering if it is a Fomorian.

Strange, I like the regular cover this time instead of the Alt cover. Beyond is already taking preorders. But I am also getting a mad carnival theme than fey theme from the regular cover. But I should be done with Candlekeep before it comes out.

Hey, man, Elves can be corpulent.
