[QUOTE="bramadan, post: 5041154, member: 1064"] Am I the only one who is bothered by the spine covers of the 4ed books. They *almost* follow a reasonable scheme but then they throw it all out for a loop. Starting books are PHB-blue, DMG-red and MM-green. Quite a few following books seem to follow this pattern: Adventurer's Vault (player's book) Blueish Dungeon Delve, Manual of the Planes (both DM books) Reddish Open Grave (definitively monster book) Green Even all the "power" books make sense in purple as they are sort of in between Player and DM supplements. But then we have Draconomicons, which are *clearly* same series as Open Grave in red, Plane Bellow, which is *clearly* supplement to MotP in, of all things, Gray which makes it same as Revenge of the Giants which if anything should have fit with Dungeon Delve. At the same time, with adventures, they change the spine colour after the heroic tier (which I understand) but then fail to change it again after the paragon tier. Dear WotC, I love your game, but keep in mind that bulk of your target audience suffers from at least mild OCD and be consistent with your spine colour schemes :D [/QUOTE]
