The Art Of The New D&D Forgotten Realms

We reveal the cover art images for this year’s big D&D books, and talk to the art team about the new projects.

I love how the cover art for both books ties together! The Heroes of Faerûn shows the famous heroes, whereas the Adventures book shows another angle of the scene, and what villains and monsters they're facing. Excellent art direction!

Rediscovering The Forgotten Realms

Editor-in-chief Matt Miller went to the Wizards of the Coast headquarters to learn about how D&D’s upcoming books will embrace the Forgotten Realms, a classic setting you might recognize from Baldur’s Gate 3.

The article announces that the books will get “several digital DLCs” including an Astarion one focusing on Vampire Urban Adventures.

WoTC has clearly (thankfully) learned LOTS from the Spelljammer controversy.

I'm excited to see this version of Calimshan!

Shahreena has some Pathfinder credits

Her classes range from entry level Arabic to high level courses on culture.

This seems like a perfect fit

I really hate that it's stuck behind a paywall folks outside of the US can't access, not that I want 10 issues of a magazine, when I only want the one.

This is just such a huge marketing failure IMHO.

So I figure they had so much so content it overflowed even two big books.

Adventures in Fearun has 50(!!!) one page adventures like the ones in the DMG.

This is wonderful; I really hope there is lots of DM support within and this makes me optimistic.

Excellent! That definitely gives hope for future updates for other non-Western inspired areas like Mulhorand and Kara-Tur.

It appears that I was wrong about it not being available digitally other countries, but I'm still not paying for 10 issues when I want 1 article still an epic fail by WotC. Could have gone with IGN or something instead. Or Enworld.
