When the character in question has a smile and a twinkle in her eye, it's usually a visual clue that the cover is for fun. It's the sultry or pouty look -- not to mention certain body parts portrayed out of proportion -- that some people may interepret as not being tasteful. I think cheesecake -- and beefcake, for that matter -- is fine for game covers, especially for something being branded as "Unorthodox." Would I recommend that strategy for Wizards or Sword and Sorcery? No. They are producing general interest -- not niche -- rpg products. Besides, they occupy the top spots in the market, where it is more important to not to offend. They don't have to shout -- in the same way anyway -- to be noticed on a store shelf. Those in the rpg pdf game have a different audience, and have to do something to get noticed. It's a crowded field. The Unorthodox products have found a way to distinguish themselves where the consumer sees them, on a very crowded web page. Your products are fun, "what if ..." type of rules exploration. It's certainly appropriate that the ladies on your covers waltz through a village wearing tights and a smile. If the cheeky characters on the cover are having fun, then the consumer should expect the stuff inside to be fun. And the Unorthodox stuff is fun.</blockquote>
