Between 1982 and 1987, TSR released 36 Endless Quest gamebooks. Most of these books were set in the Dungeons and Dragons game world, though several.

Ah, yes, damn those sjw cucks for virtue signalling all over bad generic modern fantasy art? I don’t like a lot of it, I prefer older-school stuff* and can’t stand the WotC 3e-4e-5e/Paizo art styles, but what the hell is “virtue signalling” about this? Are you that terrified that you can’t even express what you’re worried about? You mention “the whole virtue signalling component,” you complain about the rubbish covers, but you don’t actually complain about anything except the cover. Are you just saying “virtue signalling” as a form of signalling that you’re politically correct and woke to the importance of keeping the tumblrs away from your hobby? You’re not actually stating anything other than “this cover sucks.” You’re just saying “also there is virtue signalling” and handwaving over at rpgpundit as if he’s got an essay explaining why New Endless Quest is terrible.

What is your point? Although not elmore, he just screams American-publisher extruded fantasy product trilogy trash to me, compared to proper moldvay stuff and a lot of the older British art. Some of the endless quest covers are p. Decent though. Thanks for commenting, you make good points. I’ll explain further: Example: There is a tradition in fantasy art to show heroic men doing heroic things and often rescuing stereotypical damsels in distress.

Many people (including myself) are stricken by the beauty and thought provoking imagination that this form of art engenders. Of course, that’s a subjective thing. However This is completely replaced in the 4e and 5e art (as well as MtG art) with an overriding focus on being “inclusive”, to not be “offensive”, and to avoid any risk of being called misogynistic. This is what I mean by WoTC’s virtue signaling in their current art. It is a form of censorship and the consequence is (in my opinion) rubbish art choices that are just plain boring. It’s disappointing to me who grew up with seeing all the great D&D art prior to this!

In fact, an strange problem in happening. When installing, I put the serial key, and the next screen comes with no text. Borland delphi 5 download.

BTW, this problem of feeling that I am not great at explaining certain ideas in my head is EXACTLY the reason I have a blog. To force me to practice putting those things into writing The link is to a video that further explains how these behaviors have led to a decline in quality within this genre as a whole (expanding to the RPG hobby as a whole which is obviously tied to fantasy art and books). And that this isn’t new; goes back to when the religious right were culprit in censorship back in the 80s. Now it is the regressive left. In my opinion, this isn’t so much a political problem as a control problem (which I believe is his point as well). And, yes, pundit is MUCH more eloquent at explaining these things than I am; that’s why I referred to it, and applies to the problem overall, of which this is just another example of it.
