Dark Sun Cover Poll

[Sir Robilar]

As most of you know, WotC have changed the Dark Sun Campaign Setting book cover from this one (now used for Creature Catalog):

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Dark Sun Creature Catalog)

to this one:

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Dark Sun Campaign Setting)

which is IMO a little bland and doesn't evoke nearly as much as the former one. Which of these two pictures would you prefer for the main book's cover?

 

[Dice4Hire]

Yes, I liked the old one far better. Much cooler and more inspiring.

 

[Ghostwind]

Doesn't matter. I'll buy them both.

 

[Campbell]

While I'm still evaluating the new Campaign Setting cover I think it was a great decision to use the original cover art for the Creature Catalog.

 

[avin]

The older one is superior but fits better to Creature Catalog.

 

[Dausuul]

I prefer the old one.

Although I'd really prefer one done by Brom. I'm getting sick of all 4E cover art being done by Wayne Reynolds.

 

[avin]

On a second thought, the new cover is something that kills my hope of a fantastic DS4E a bit... instead of a menacing environment representing Arthas two bold adventurers ready for assault dungeons ... eew...

 

[Klaus]

I prefer the old one.

Old one. The new one is too pedestrian in composition.

There appears to be some rule that each handbook must have two heroes posing with dramatic faces. One must be female and one must be male. sigh.

 

[doctorhook]

Old one was very cool.* (I love the picture, but frankly, I wish there was less "action" in it. Not every single cover needs to be an intense action-shot, guys. It's gettings stale. Keep the sun and the pyramid.)

New one looks the same as every other 4E cover so far; two characters posing with swords.

Also, I don't understand; why the hell are they putting player and DM stuff in the same book again? Why are they abandoning the three-book model? I loved it, and I am not looking forward to having to worry about what my players have spoiled for themselves./grumble
