The universal response to this video seems to be that Emi is absolutely delightful and has a warm charisma score of 20.

Art is amazing, my only complaint is with some of the hipster hair cuts, the side shave is just so unimpressive and and not a fan of the man buns either. Is it a Dwarven foundry or a Dwarven Starbucks?

But my issues with current hair trends aside the art is some of the best I've seen and the lay out great.

The art might be the strongest part like with Spelljammer and Planescape, but if that continues, if the writing and mechanics can't keep to that standard 1D&D will quickly get a rep for being pretty, but shallow. Not the artists fault, the writers have to do better.

Maybe they are rotating the DMs, and there is a switch between adventures midsession?
And one of the players who had been playing remotely… arrived? I think them just having game day outfits is more plausible. Or, really, the Doylist explanation that putting them in the same outfits makes it more clear that they’re the same people.

It’s not like modern hipsters invented those hairstyles. They’ve both gone in and out of fashion countless times throughout history and across different cultures.

  • 1e DMG which also covers the PHB
  • 2e
  • 3e
  • 4e
  • 5e
  • B/X
  • Mentzer Basic
  • Rules Cyclopedia

So, I guess basically all of them?
I mean a 5E book released in the past decade since the DMG.

A couple did, but not many.

Anyways, based on the Rules Glossary format, I would predict there won't be a general index.

Looking more closely at the two images.

These three players are facing the DM, who is out view. The one with D&D T-shirt standing up is the superheroish character in orange at right. The player in pink is the character on left also in pink. The player with the V-neck shirt on right holding the glasses has a character that is out of view.

In this next image, two more players are in view. The new player in the hoodie at far left, is the character in green also at far left. Next from left, we now see the Wizard character that the earlier player in the V-neck shirt is playing. At center, the new player wearing a red shirt and standing up is playing the character at far right. However, this is probably an NPC, and the player at center is the DM − and the NPC and the Wizard are interacting in a social encounter. Next from right, the player in the D&D T-shirt still has the superheroish character in the background. At far right, the player in pink has the character in pink out of view. The character seems to be missing from this social encounter, as the player is withdrawn from the game interaction. Possibly the character died in the green-skull explosion of the previous image, or might simply be facing a different encounter separately. Either way, the player is waiting to resume the game.
