I'm ecstatic over the first cover (as people may have guessed from my comments over in meta when Morrus was making a banner based on that pic)! It looks really great, and I think perfectly sums up what we can expect from the
Age of Mortals sourcebook (I'm hoping it'll explain the disparity between the end of
Dragons of Summer Flame given the explanation for the War of Souls).
Cover number two looks pretty good also! It's very evocative of the feel of the dragon overlords from the Fifth Age (though its odd to see a blue flying across what appears to be The Devestation, since that was Malys's territory), which is probably among the best choices for a DL monster book.
The third one I'm not so fond of. I never really liked that depiction of some of the companions. I would come down on that pic harder, but since it is of the companions though, it really does belong on the DM's screen, even if I do think the art could have been better.
I don't really have an opinion on the fourth cover. It just doesn't do anything for me one way or another, especially given that we have no knowledge of how apt it is for the product, since we don't know what it's about.
The last one brings a smile to my face. How could it not? It's Raistlin and Dalamar, and the pic of them is superbly done. While Raistlin alone isn't necessarily evocative of the Towers of High Sorcery, him and Dalamar together certainly is. Still, I have some mild reservations about this product. I bought
The Last Tower for the Fifth Age game, and while it was certainly a good product, then, like now, I just didn't see the point. While the Towers are certainly interesting and mysterious, I just can't see there being enough of that interesting material to warrant its own product about it (not unless they chart out every single room and then some, which is boring). Of course I'll buy the product, and I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised, but still.
The only other thing that comes to mind looking over them is that this is the first time we'll have products with cover art that was cover art for other products. I know I've seen that artwork on previous DL material, and its quite odd to see it as cover material again, jarring almost.
Just my initial thoughts.
