Cover by John Sumrow. Bridgett says: [I]"Because Sumrow is awesome, and I love how present this cover feels. It's evocative in the sense that the second my eyes fall upon this cover, I'm on the ship with the crew."[/I] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/392761/The-Snakes-Oil'][IMG]https://store-9zhx02uo.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/392761-1-.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/392761/The-Snakes-Oil']The Snake's Oil[/URL] by Michael Frank, Arthur Rothfuss III, Emily Mills-Woodruff, Chris Hogan, Scott Stamper, Wayne Holt. Cover by Ginny Munson. Bridgett says: [I]"Every time I see this cover, I stop to examine and find something new. It's atmospheric, yes, but it's also alarming in a sense that you've got this no nonsense, heavily pregnant woman, seemingly summoning a snake. I already have a good sense of how this scenario may feel.... And then you have, "mature content, immature people," running across the bottom. ... And that will never not be funny to me. PS: In case you missed it... Check out the tattoos on the woman."[/I] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/300932/The-Highway-of-Blood-A-Call-of-Cthulhu-Scenario-for-the-1970s'][IMG]https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/300932.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/300932/The-Highway-of-Blood-A-Call-of-Cthulhu-Scenario-for-the-1970s']The Highway of Blood: A Call of Cthulhu Scenario for the 1970s[/URL] by Alex Guillotte and Ian Christiansen. Cover by Alex Guillotte. Allan says, [I]"This one because it leans right into the genre it is portraying.

Cover by Pexels ([URL='https://pixabay.com/photos/tea-tea-bag-tea-leaves-dried-herb-1869594/']Pixabay.com[/URL]) MOB says, [I]"Here's an example of an evocative image sourced from a free use site (in this case Pixabay) that matches the title theme of the scenario perfectly. I love how the broken open infuser and scattered tea leaves darkly suggests something violent might have just happened: truly a storm from a teacup."[/I] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/331189/Sorrow-in-Tsavo'][IMG]https://store-9zhx02uo.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/tsavo.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/331189/Sorrow-in-Tsavo']Sorrow in Tsavo[/URL] by Bridgett Jeffries. Cover by Alex Strachan ([URL='http://instagram.com/alex_strachan_photo']Pixabay.com[/URL]) MOB says, [I]"Another great example of an image sourced from Pixabay. A blood-red sunset is perfect for a cover that promises the visceral experience of man-eating lions in Africa. The design also leaves plenty of room for cover text, description, and logos."[/I] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/329641/The-Mummy-of-Pemberley-Grange'][IMG]https://store-9zhx02uo.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/329641-1-.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/329641/The-Mummy-of-Pemberley-Grange']The Mummy of Pemberley Grange[/URL][URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/329641/The-Mummy-of-Pemberley-Grange'] - Seeds of Terror[/URL] by Allan Carey and Nic Holland. Cover by Simon Lissaman. MOB says, [I]"What Allan did with his 'Seeds of Terror' series is come up with a simple yet elegant and effective cover design that can be easily repeated (with minor color variations). If you like the first one you try – and you almost certainly will – you can easily identify all the others in the series."[/I] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/373621/Carnival-of-Madness-A-Call-of-Cthulhu-Scenario-for-the-1970s'][IMG]https://store-9zhx02uo.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/373621.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/373621/Carnival-of-Madness-A-Call-of-Cthulhu-Scenario-for-the-1970s']Carnival of Madness: A Call of Cthulhu Scenario for the 1970s[/URL] by Alex Guillotte and Ian Christiansen.
