Publishing this October from Penguin Random House, Dungeons & Dragons: Art & Arcana offers an insider look at the evolution of the legendary tabletop RPG franchise, from earliest days of the classic red box to the behemoth it has become today. Written by Michael Witwer, Kyle Newman, Jon Peterson, and Sam Witwer, Art & Arcana’s journey is told through the art that has emblazoned player manuals and adventure guides throughout D&D’s esteemed history, offering looks at classic covers and even early concept art and design work from the art teams behind the game.​

That looks damn cool!

 

[Jester David]

I know, right!
I was semi-indifferent to the art book, but goddamn does that look pretty.

I remember an old Art of Dragonlance book from the early to mid 90's. Mate refused to sell it sigh.

Looks like the page on the Penguin Random House is not working yet. Looking forward to pre-ordering this!

Wow, that looks amazing. I’m very curious about the pre-publication version of the Tomb of Horrors.

Preorder appears to be available at Amazon. Also, it's the number 1 best-seller in "Warhammer Game." Heh.

 

[Sacrosanct]

I'll probably end up getting it, for anything else, the nostalgic values.

 

[Jester David]

Yeah, I immediately pre-ordered off Amazon

As far as I can tell, yes.

Which is interesting, because the two products aren't even in the same league. I wonder if all the loose goodies in the deluxe are shown as photos in the standard, or what. This is definitely a different situation that the normal "Deluxe" FLGS covers of other products, where the inside is the same.
