D&D (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

In a short 1-minute video, Wizards of the Coast has 'revealed' Dragon Delves, the upcoming anthology of dragon-themed adventures. The video showcases the book's eclectic art styles.

Dragon Delves contains 10 adventurers from levels 1-12, each featuring a different type of dragon. The book is due out July 8th.

This art is gorgeous -- the gold dragon style makes me laugh, in a good way. But I'm eager for them to tell us more about the adventures themselves. A single sentence description of each would go a long way towards making me a buyer.

The black and white, some may say traditional or old school look.

It's not actually black and white - just very limited use of colour - but yeah it's pretty cool.

Unfortunately my personal dislike of dragons in D&D (yeah, I get it, you can laugh!) means I probably won't get this. But hopefully they do this with art in future adventure collections?

HAHA I get you, I normally couldn't care less about dragons (not since I was 12, anyway, once I saw Dragonslayer), but I do admit that I quite like this art.

I'm a fan of using different styles! I don't like one of the styles, but that's fine with me.

You aren't alone. I'm not a huge fan of the Dragon aspect outside of Dragonlance.

Yeah and what I've found interesting is as I get older, I often come to appreciate art styles that didn't have any time for as a younger person.

Not all of them though, eh, Baxa?

That's great, thanks! As expected, the lower levels are slanted more toward working with good dragons than fighting evil dragons, but there seems to be a good variety in the adventures, based on the descriptions. Dealing with a hag (even as a solo player!) living in a candy cottage feels like WotC has let the adventure writers stretch their wings.

This list definitely pushes me closer to buying this as a source of potential drop-in adventures for my Radiant Citadel campaign.
