D&D (2024) Standard vs Alternate covers (+)

[Meech17]

I really like the alternates.. If I am to pick any of them up.. I'd probably go with those.

Alts for PHB & DMG, standard for MM.

This, but then you are mismatched, and I just cannot abide that.

So far, that's how I'm leaning as well.

I feel the same way.. I like the standard MM cover better than the alt one.. But if I buy a full set I think they'd have to match..

I am waiting to see if the do a collected box set and pick my hardbacks up that way but I already have preorder the digital versions

Took 4 years before they did the collected box set for the 2014 versions.

I like the alternates well enough, and appreciate the FLGS exclusivity...but the standard covers hit my personal aesthetic hard, so I'm going with those.

No option for "digital versions only"? Or is that "standard"?

My idea was to poll only about the choice of cover as an esthetic choice. I probably should have been clearer about that.

They don't! They don't have to! Let go! Embrace the chaos! You know which covers are actually the better covers, and that means mixing them up! DO IT.

I love the enthusiasm, and normally I'm a fan of asymmetry... But I really dislike the proposed spines for the standard covers too.. I'd hate seeing one of them poking out on the shelf like an odd ball
