Higher resolution PHB pic on Amazon

Amazon'slisting of the 4e PHB now has a higher resolution version of the new PHB cover. Thought you guys might like to know.

It's like lame...only bigger.

Hey, there's a Dwarf and an Elfadrin in the background, it's almost a team picture.

I still prefer Sir Leeroy & his girlfriend though.

You mean the cover for Hell Boy and Anime Girl: Shopping for Oversized Scabbards?

I know this isn't my father's D&D, but having a heroic armed toad on the cover of the PHB seems like a decision WotC will come to regret.

Doesn't it look a bit like he's in the process of rump-shoving her off of the rock?

However, almost anything looks better than the plastic bead look from 3e!

In a world without petroleum, a man with plastic beads is king.

I totally read that in the movie announcer guy voice.

I think I can honestly say that I have no preference on what's on the cover of my PHB. The only one I ever liked was the guy on the horse, which was the first printing of the 2E PHB. I hated the interior design of that one though. Way too much crappy blue art. I wasn't a big fan of most of the color interior art in that book either. The 2nd, larger, version was a slight improvement, but not a huge one.

That is so videogamey, so plastic! I don't like Dragonborn, OK next! People will always complain anyway.

IMO it's not a bad cover.
