For you poor souls that didn't grow up with the LJN figures, these were that era's "iconics":

(Note that "Melf" was renamed "Paralay" for his 2nd figure card and here)

Molliver looking a bit different.

There's a "blur brush tool" and a "blur filter" in just about every paint program like Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, that's not a sign of generative AI. At least right now, looking for signs of brush strokes is one of the ways of determining if something is done by a human.

Nope. All art I don't like is AI.

I won't be taking questions.

I read the full Gameinformer feature in the magazine. They seemed to confirm Aasimar for the PHB.

"The classic options, like humans and elves...are joined by new included options, like the planetouched Aasimar, hulking Goliath, and mighty orcs." (Pg. 14)

172 posts. Not bad. I would have lost money.

Huh?

I am surprised it took this long for the "AI" intimations to start coming.

I wonder how many they could sell if they did special edition throwback covers (1e PhB, Moldvay-B, etc...) ...

Or even book-protector-covers with them on it that would fit.

Nah, I wasn't implying that this art is AI-generated. I mean, the article even shows the art process for several of these pieces. I was just remembering that the initial art of those mega-dinosaurs in Bigby's were "AI-enhanced" by the artist. I suppose I should have left that part out, because even the non-'AI enhanced' replacement art still makes the dinos look pretty goofy.

So Goliaths are just in this because of critical role, right?

Finally Aasimar made it to the big leagues were they belong. Love lifts Aasimar up where they belong.

Anyways given it says LIKE..., not just new races Aasimar, Goliaths, and Orcs, it makes me wonder if those were just an example. Would love it if Genasi made it too, and I think BG3 fans would ike the Gith were in it, but even if its just Aasimar, I am greatly pleased to see Aasimar FINALLY getting the respect they are due as a major D&D race in multiple D&D settings both official and 3rd party and video games/novels etc....
