I love every aspect of this.

NO you guys don’t understand, the entire book is like this. They tried to cram in all sorts of representation of different races and the art is gorgeous and it’s GREAT! The picture for a spellcaster is a female human who is wearing BAGGY, NON-SEXUALIZED CLOTHING AND NO MAKEUP because she’s in a dungeon, she doesn’t have time to do her hair cmon.

Also this:

this makes me happy

D&D is great.

… this response bothers me because it seems to imply D&D hasn’t had similar things in the past.

I know that 4e had an Asian woman and Caucasian man depicted for their human entry.  There are plenty of examples of artwork not featuring skimpy outfits (and there is nothing wrong with skimpy outfits btw) and as its an RPG, anyone could play any concept for gender and items like sex-swap items existed in D&D for decades.

Geek culture has always been inclusive.  This gaslighting bullshit pisses me off.
