I'm simply telling you that the previous edition of the game where normally focused to a range of age (obvious since it is a product with a main target), with the rest of out of main target people more or less compatible. Now, expecially looking to books like strixhaven, it is embarassing for an adult to buy it looking at the illustration. Maybe this is subjective (as all written in this forum is) but I feel that now d&d is more focused to a specific age focus and less compatible to the tastes of people of 30+ years.My feeling of alienation has grown stronger book by book, starting from 0 in the first manual and now running wild to not buying books anymore. I've forced myself to buy Witchlight. Passed Strixhaven, and recently passed Netherdeep simply because I'm literally unable to stand the art anymore. Maybe it is myself, but I'm quite as I was 10 years ago, nothing significant has changed in my life, tastes are the same. And also I have a big driver to buy from my children.It seems to me that the gaussian curve is narrowing, focusing to a specific target age (or maybe this is the effect of some different editorial approach but it's impossible to talk about it here).When I look back at TSR product or even 3rd edition I don't feel this bothersome effect from art. It was rarely good art, but I never feel embarassed looking at old manuals.When I see art from Fria Ligan products it seems to me as passing from my neighboor singing under the shower to freddy mercury. And it has to be a real symptom of a precise age targeting, both for Frial Ligan and Wotc.</blockquote>
