In a surprising twist, the folks at Wizards of the Coast have opted not to feature the most iconic villains from across thebest D&D booksin this new cover. No doubt they had plenty of heavy hitters to choose from – from Xanathar to Tiamat – but instead the new Dungeon Master’s Guide cover kicks it old school with Venger, the Big Bad from the 1980s Saturday morning D&D cartoon. Furthering the nostalgia, this single-horned archmage appears alongside Skylla and Warduke, two minor villains who were introduced all the way back in 1e. The front cover’s villainous lineup is rounded out with an army of skeletons and a dracolich which leers behind all the action. Spooky.
