D&D 5E (2024) New D&D Edition's Player’s Handbook Alternate Art Cover Reveal

Polygon revealed the alternate art for the 2024 Player's Handbook.

"Illustrated by Wylie Beckert, the alt art cover of the Player’s Handbook (2024) features a party comprised of D&D’s four iconic classes — the fighter, the wizard, the cleric, and the rogue — all gathered around a friendly gold dragon, sharing tea. This gentle scene stands in stark contrast to the mainline Player’s Handbook (2024), which will have a bright, bold cover by Tyler Jacobsen with similar characters posed in the moments before striking a blow."

Finally snagged this… Someone apparently cancelled their alternate cover order at Noble Knight and I swept in and grabbed it this morning.

Sadly, I live nowhere near a FLGS. If people are having trouble preordering it elsewhere, I preordered the new PHB (and DMG) from GameNerdz. They’re still taking preorders at $38.47 for the Alt. Cover PHB:

Dungeons & Dragons 5E RPG: 2024 Player's Handbook (Alternate Cover)

Board Games, MTG, Magic: the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Role Playing Games, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer Miniatures, Gamesworkshop and much more.

I’ve bought several preorders from them, and thus far they’ve always delivered what I asked for, and in good condition. Not exactly on the day of release, but within a couple weeks of that. Oh and they offer free shipping if you spend $75. So this time I ordered the 2 versions of the PHB plus some small thing for just over $75.

If anyone in Canadaland want to preorder them at 55$ CAD, here's my FLGS:

Also, they need to compete with Amazon, at least here in US.

As far as I know, that's why alternate covers are there for. No alternate in Amazon.ca either.

Eventually we'll see stores put their spare covers up on Amazon, but not for a while and usually for quite the markup.

I was about to pre order them, but then noticed that you had to go pick up your preorder to the store, they wont ship it to you and I never go to Saint-Foy.

Yes, I prefer to lose the pre order discount than drive 45 minutes in a traffic jam .

Californians all completely baffled by this sentence

If you order several books, there's no shipping cost if you prefer.

Yeah well, I live in the second largest city in my Province, with nearly 800 000 inhabitants! Can you imagine the traffic! BRUTAL!

That's not bad. About the size of San Francisco and there, no one has to worry about moose or polar bears on the road. (I assume those are the biggest causes of traffic snarls in Canada.)

I wish... it's just they are trying to construct a tramway around here and there's a lot of road work ahead of this. But yeah, we're far from LA traffic, just not used to it.
