The art looks great, but it's disappointing that the layout -- while obviously improved -- still feels like it's trailing other RPGs by quite a bit.

It's great that we're getting a Mothership-style illustrated weapons chart, for instance, but it looks like the endpapers are just marbled paper, when Mothership and so many other RPGs are now using that prime real estate to put in the most useful charts for each book, so they can be consulted at a glance.

Maybe in the 2034 books.
 





I recognize Laeral Silverhand along side Drizzt, but I don't recognize the 2rd wizard, does anyone who she is?

Interesting to note that the imagine shows at least 2 heavily multiclassed characters. Drizzt is Fighter/Ranger/Barbarian/Monk and Laeral Silverhand is a Wizard/Sorcerer/Ranger.
They are not really considered multiclass nowadays. Laeral is more pure wizard and Drizzt is a Hunter Ranger.

Oh, there is more where that came from, much of it with distinctly trad fantasy Medieval clothing.

That wyvern is looking intensely terrifying. I kept thinking it was a dragon.

It very much looks like in the last one that it's Raistlin, Caramon, and Kitiara, but at no time would they have adventured together after Raist got his golden skin. So it has to be some sort of allegorical piece in-universe. They really should have used Tika or Crysania if they wanted a female third...

I do like how these group portraits represent classic characters from several different settings!
