PHB, MM, DMG covers

[RFisher]

Is it too late to change the covers? could these just be placeholders, or is this a done deal? i'm not sure how these things works in the publishing industry. I do know that WotC probably doesn't care what the Enworlder's think, and the majority of D&D players love Reynold's style, so i'm worried that the PHB will stay as given. Which is really, really too bad.

It's never too late. The only questions are how much it'll cost & whether they think that cost is justifiable.

As far as caring what ENWorlders think: It's been looking a lot to me the past few days like Wizards really is paying a lot of attention to ENWorld & their own forums.

By now, I'm pretty much sick of the "Book that looks like a book!!!!" design style.

I think I was sick of it the second time I saw it, if not the first. Long, long before Wizards tried it. Maybe even before I'd heard of D&D. I wouldn't even be able to remember what book it might have been, though a day or two searching through my parents house would surely turn up some candidates.

I'm just glad that my lovely and talented artist/graphic designer wife agrees with me that the covers look fine.
