D&D 4E 4E PHP cover art changed

[Darkwolf71]

Awesome! Now I don't feel so bad about raising a stink about this. Here's the alt cover I did awhile back:

My one wish: We get a party of adventurers in a DUNGEON fighting a DRAGON. Makes sense to me.

I like that. If only my vote counted for anything.

Perhaps, but it wasn't one appropriate for these boards.

My apologies.

Oooh, I am thrilled with this news. I hope the new cover is not a step back though and is more "adventurery".

Does anyone have a decent quality version of the offending art? I forgot what it looked like...

 

[vagabundo]

I like the cover, maybe a bit too specific...

I'm all for moving forward, not looking back, but a quick roots check once in a while is usually a good thing. Especially when it's something as innocuous as a cover art that's clearly an homage.

QFT. I started with the BECMI sets, where the dragons were always more prominent than the adventurers in the box art. That certainly didn't turn me off from buying the game. I can still see those Elmore pieces whenever I close my eyes.

Check the ENWorld 4E info page. It still has the artwork.

Image won't show. Arg!

Edit: Anyone got a .Jpg?

I'm glad to see that WAR will be doing a new cover, no matter what the reason.

Awesome news. I never liked the Teifling being showcased on the cover. I guess I'm just too "traditional", but I'd kinda like to see a dragon in a dungeon or something. :\
