Thankfully there's a good mix of skin tones and visually assumed genders.

Two examples...

Oh, I LIKE that second art. Always a fan of the Victorian era for fantasy. And a guy dual-wielding with a cane-sheath? Gold.

Who would win in a fight: a bunch of TTRPG nerds or Nintendo fans hoping for one (1) crumb of news about the Switch successor? It's anyone's guess!

TTRPG fans, because they get more exercise and are more likely to own swords.

Is the top one the same Wizard as the Wizard intro art? Because I now think she is an Aasimar even more now, maybe the guy in the Soulknife art as well.

I'm assuming that art is set in Eberron ir the Ravenloft domain based on London?

Article one, Ringfit Adventures.

Article two, Switch Sports literally training my daughter in sword forms.

Those are characters from Van Richten's Guide.

Definitely Ravenloft. Their designs have changed somewhat from their pre-5e versions (or so I've been told), but the characters are supposedly old-school Ravenloft regulars that were brought back for Van Richten's.

Detectives Alanik Ray and Arthur Sedgwick.

The Weathermay-Foxgrove Twins, Gennifer and Laurie - Monster Hunters.

I can't convey how much this is making me grin that these characters are included in the PHB.

Looks like y'all are going head to head with the new Nintendo Direct tomorrow.

Also from WotC, they're previewing the Magic The Gathering / Assassin's Creed crossover products tomorrow as well. Busy day.

Uh, then, uh....

-runs away without answering-

Wow a natural 1!

Apologies, I'll be "watching" the Direct first, but I'll be sure to watch the D&D presentation afterwards.

("watching" because it is 3am for me, I'll probably need more brainpower for the D&D one anyway)

EDIT: oops 4am for me. The brain fog has started already
