Ridley's Cohort
First Post
I am leaning towards liking the idea of dragonborn as a core race.
I dislike the cover. Feels like dreary wannabe anime with too much warhammer influence to me.
While I do not expect contemporary fantasy art fashions to adhere to my personal taste (I am well past any desire to be hip and cool in my outlook), I am more than a little perplexed by how "cool" somehow continues to be equated "dark", "pained", "bloated, and "grotesque".
The teen angst thing has long been an element of fantasy art, D&D art in particular. I am skeptical that it is such a compelling draw to the youth today. Like yesteryear, many of the young will be drawn in to the fantasy genre by Tolkien and the LotR movies.
