D&D 5E Planescape shows up in the wild. Tease from Chris Perkins.

I'd say that nostalgia is honoring the past, not reinventing it.

It's actually just wistful emotions for the past, mostly looking through rose colored glasses and unable to see or acknowledge the flaws of the past. it is thinking Goonies was good because you loved it as a kid.

Spoiler: it is not a good movie.

I watched Goodies with my kids a couple years ago. We all loved it, so I have to disagree with you there.

So why are we getting diTerlizzi back? You think Gen Z are like, "Oh yeah, the Nodwick guy, ideal guy to do Planescape art." The only reason to have him doing the cover as opposed to any other artist is because he did it in the 90s, isn't it?

Because it provides a link to the past without being trapped in it. From an artist who is capable of moving with the times.

Because DiTerlizzi and Planescape go together hand in hand like Peanut Butter & Jelly, Dragons & Dungeons, Batman & Robin, Cats & Dogs, Beauty & Beasts and etc etc etc.

They certainly did go together.

Don't forget drow and moustaches!

I mean, there's no accounting for taste obviously, but IMO it's nearly unwatchable. Not as bad as Willow, but close.

Batman & Robin,

Speaking of bad movies...

Cats & Dogs

Speaking of fun movies people say are bad...

Makes me wonder if you consider any movies from that era watchable. Loved Willow too, by the way.

The new covers do a good job of honouring the past from what I’ve seen…

Honestly, text is far more important than any art to me. I just happened to really like the old Planescape art.
