I am conflicted. On the one hand, the just-revealed Dungeons & Dragons crossover cosmetics for Destiny2 evokes the same "sensory whiplash" that Morgan Park described when he wrote about shooter skin collabs on May 11. On the other hand, my Titan will look rad riding an owl. Who among us doesn't enjoy the occasional bite from the homogenizing slurry of brand synergy" Given our post Baldur's Gate3world and Wizards of The Coast's recent affection for magic: The Gathering crossover collaborations, these Faerún-inspired armor sets are probably on somebody's Destiny2comarketing bingo card. I would have liked it. When the cosmetics arrive with their final form on May 6, there will be a high-fantasy Draconic plate armor suit for Titans, a cyberpunk-style take on d&D's Display Servest for hunters, and a Mind Freya for warlocks with tentacle-heavy helmets. You can buy a set of robes with a theme of "fashion" and "fashion". A sincere celebration to anyone who can successfully style the last one.

The Hunter Set is the most successful run here for me. Even allowing the display Sa beast tentacles, the neon and futuristic armor plating can probably be mixed and matched with the looks of other hunters. In addition, it marks the long-delayed arrival of the fate kitty cat ears. Everyone wins. Destiny, on the other hand, has its share of medieval looks, seeing you in Iron Banner costumes, but these Titan and Warlock costumes gelled as well as the existing vibe and their lack of cohesion is my sticking point for these crossover cosmetics, especially if Destiny itself already has such a strong visual language. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the spill from Comic-Con when I want to watch Destiny, when they're too far outside the game's existing aesthetics to accommodate the designs of other brands. In Morgan's words, "Everyone looked cool, but no one looked like they belonged.""Still, I want this much more than those ghostbusters cosmetics.

It's safe to assume that armor sets follow in line with the 2,000 silver precedent of previous crossover sets, meaning they will run you about run20. There's also a dragon-shaped jumpship, the aforementioned deeply engaging owl chariot sparrow, a viewer-themed ghost shell, and an Emote that actually rolls d20 in the game with random results. The entire crop of D&D products will hit the in-game Eververse store when Final Shape is released on 6/4. Time will tell.
