PHB, MM, DMG covers

[Wormwood]

For comparison, here are the covers of previous PHBs[/IMG]

LOL!

Put in perspective, the new cover and logo design is easily in the top two.

I don think anyone else has noticed that under "PLayer Handbook" on the PHB cover, it says, "Arcane, Divine and Martial Heroes"

This means psionics aren't in the core book.

Catch up with the rumor mill! That's been discussed already.



Psionics, I think, are getting a similar treatment that they've always gotten--supplement material.

me likey!

They look great to me too! And yes, I was thinking that was Orcus as well. The red dragon seems inspired by the Todd Lockwood designs while the green dragon show elsewhere doesn't.

Also keep in mind that the colored title bar will be carried across books. So expect DM supplements to use the same color as the Dungeon Master's Guide and Sword & Fist style books to use the same color as the Player's Handbook.

... and yet Bruce Cordell (of PsiHB and XPH fame) played a "psion" in a playtest (i.e., a wizard with a different name).

But only because Bruce Cordell is the resident illithid in WotC!

(everything he touches gets psionic, far realm or tentacle treatment... he has written the Illithiad and Hyperconscious as well - nothing wrong with it, I love most of his work).

Cheers, LT.

Yes, and if the resident illithid of WotC can turn a wizard into a psion with just a change of names, we can certainly do the same...


... at least until a 4e Psionics Handbook comes out.

Man, do I love the cover of first edition AD&D PHB. This cover rocks.

I'm working on it

The green dragon in the other WAR pic is too prominent for it to be the PHB cover. The monster's taking up much more space than the adventurers.

Considering that "dragon" is in the name of the game & that the pic actually shows a group of adventurers actually adventuring... It's very, very hard for me to fault it as a PHB cover on that point.

Psionics, I think, are getting a similar treatment that they've always gotten--supplement material.

They may have been in an appendix in the 1e PHB, but they were in the PHB.

(Just to nitpick, mind you; not because I like psionics in my D&D. (^_^))
