Latest Wizards Cover Botch

Hopefully they'll discard "Stormwrack" in favor of "Wet & Wild" or "Slippery When Wet." We wouldn't want the chance that anyone wouldn't understand "Stormwrack," would we?

I just used the word "maelstrom" at lunch a couple days ago, and only the German guy didn't recognize it. I guess it's most familiar in "maelstrom of controversy," a favorite turn of phrase among journalists. I have noticed that many people incorrectly take it as a synonym for "storm" though.

Or "Wetwrack"?

"A Big Wet One."

 

[Desdichado]

How about "Wet Willie?"

I'm more disappointed that the DMG II isn't blue.

Oh, for cryin' out loud. The cover pics in the WotC catalog are mock-ups and don't mean jack. The online catalog still shows Unearthed Arcana with a brown cover, instead of the black (or really dark green depending on who you talk to) cover it had in print.

They should have just gone with "The Perfect Storm" to get that nice movie/book synergy tie in.

They could cut out the message board middle man and simply call it "The Sky Falleth"

And I seem to remember Charles Ryan, himself, dropping by a thread and mentioning that the DMG II is in fact, blue covered.

So nyah, DaveMage. NYAH!

No, he said the cover was the same color (and spine was the same color) as Unearthed Arcana.

So - the spine will be tan and the cover a dark, dark green (almost black in appearance).
