Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder RPG Core Book - Cover Posted

WOW. Even though I have no plans of getting this I have to say this is an AWESOME cover. Good to see there's someone out there who knows how to do it right.

@Klaus, that strikes me as an excellent example of how two images can be similarly composed and yet not be even in the same 'league of coolness'.

Yeah, Wayne Reynolds seems to have put an extra effort into the Pathfinder one that he didn't on the Character Sheets one. Not that the Character Sheets isn't an awesome image, mind you (I wish it was the PHB cover), but the Pathfinder cover just has more... I dunno... movement? The red dragon certainly is better posed than the green one.

That cover is really awesome! Although I have no interest in D&D 3x or systems based on it, I wholeheartedly endorse the Awesome of this cover!

[Edit: Actually, I have to retract part of that statement. I have a lot of love for Modern 20 from RPG Objects which, technically, is based on D&D 3x by virture of lineage.]

Eh, I think both are awesome. And I'm not usually a fan of Wayne Reynold's stuff.

Rock on, Paizo.

Nice cover. I wonder if we get 10 pages of why-does-the-dragon-have-a-nosespike threads this time.

Likely weren't able to use the (awesome) 3E (I think it was) todd lockwood dragon designs for copyright reasons.

Still great a great cover to a game I won't be buying.

This is a great cover. I love the omage to older editions.

I hope they keep it up on their other books.

Behold the power of art direction! Eh, just confirms my general opinion: 4E has a lot of awesome artists but a weird art direction that pushes them into a bit gaudy and comic-style colours and poses.

Cheers, LT.

That cover is so sweet!

576 pages! Holy crap that's a big book.

I like that quite a bit. 'Course, who doesn't love Seoni?

Me. If you're a subscriber, you get at least 3 images of her in every product. I'm as sick of her as FR fans are of Drizzt do'unpronounceable.

From what I gather, it's the PHB and DMG, all in one. And then, the month after(?), there's the Bestiary:

That, however, rocks like a very bad word!
