Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer still exist. Todd Haynes is still making films. RIP Jean-Luc Godard.And Lidgar: sure I also have a nostalgic delight in the 1st edition covers; I started with the Basic D&D Moldvay set and quickly transitioned to those...but it is the 50th annviersary of the first printing of the game, not those particular books (or maybe it was those books I started with, then Moldvay, and then back to AD&D as I first started in 1980 and I have read that the Moldvay set was published in 1981...it was a long time ago). I know you know this, but nostalgia for those covers animated some artwork during the 3rd edition era, as is evident in the pages of Art & Arcana. So, at this point, it would be unoriginal nostalgia. I suppose this thread is likely not a good one for me as I was brought up internalizing "don't judge a book by its cover" and, at this point, we have little else on which to evaluate the merits of the revised DMG. Cheers, everyone! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
