What does "No Canadian Pricing" mean?

That T-shirt is just an invitation for someone to beat you up and take your lunch money.

Hong "sounds just like D&D, really" Ooi

It means that Canadian prices for the books will not be printed on the books.

i kinda like the new cover. it's like the 3e cover, cranked up half a notch.

The cover looks good.

I think WotC could have mentioned at least one other fairly well known person who plays D&D: Lexa Doig from Andromeda. (D&D: Not just for men!)

I was a little concerned when I heard people saying how "gaudy" and "busy" the cover was, but having now seen it it's not that bad. Hell of a lot better than the cheesy art on some of the old 2e books.

I met the gentleman who designed the covers for the three core rule books while waiting for a taxi from GTS to the airport yesterday. In fact, he was holding a big blow-up of the new PH cover with him! His name is Henry Higgenbotham and seemed like a real nice fellow.

Why can't they make plain, sober covers ? Without cheesy art (will, without Easley art anyway; they could use all the Swekel art they want) ? And without all these gaudy fake gems ? Seriously, it's kitsch. It is possible to make beautiful covers. Look at Nobilis, for example. Ah, well.

I'd love to see the covers done without the faux metal and glass bits. The colours and the textures are nice, and would be even better on their own. The book title (preferably in a better font) centred in the top half of the cover (nicely embossed would be a bonus), and bam, nice attractive book with a cover that doesn't feel so stale so quickly.
