The last line has an editing issue:
Is the Escapist trying to crowdsource editing of their written articles? I've noticed a lot more errors in recent weeks.
OT: I'm not sure about the "timeless" quality, or the multiplicity of styles. The images released look heroic and grand, but they all seem to be in the same style. I know they want to keep a recognizable core identity in the art, but I'd love it if the DMG had a section on the different campaign settings (since they are focused on Forgotten Relams), with a big two-page spread of art for Dragonlance, Eberron, Dark Sun, and Greyhawk, each in a distinctive style. That would really fire up imaginations and demonstrate some breadth of what D&D can be, rather than what frankly appears to be a bunch of images of people fighting monsters in some generic fantasy world.
For example:
Every one of those images tells a story related to D&D, but each story is entirely different from the others.
