Showcase: Rulebook Art Treatment "It was so important to get the right look for the module and rulebook cards to evoke the right feel for D&D," said Chrissy. "All those other ideas are still hanging around-maybe we'll use them someday."Ī nostalgic Dungeons & Dragons feel was the goal for the treatments. "Everyone quickly agreed that the two we landed on were best," said Tom. The team eventually settled on two: the classic module and rulebook treatments. What came out of that session? "Tons of ideas! Pages and whiteboards of ideas! Since D&D has such a rich history, there were too many ideas.

That team was headed up by Senior Creative Director Jess Lanzillo and Creative Manager Tom Jenkot. "I wanted to make that!"ĭeveloping the card treatments for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms required a team with a keen eye for what makes the look and feel of D&D, drawing from across its history and versions, and how that could be translated into Magic. "Remembering the classic monster manuals I had as a kid and poring through the pages was a big draw," said Tom. "We love the classic D&D artwork style, and it was fun to see how we adapted and updated that for Magic." "We were really excited," said Chrissy Wiley about the team's reaction to working on the crossover. These two games seemed destined to meet one day, but it has taken a while to happen.
