[POLL] Which Xanathar's Guide Cover Do You Prefer?

I think it's awesome. It really pops out at you. IMHO it's better than JACP (Just Another Cover Pic).

Didn't like the special Volo's cover and don't like or want this one either. I MUCH prefer all the books have the same design.

I like the special edition cover better in isolation, but the standard is a better stylistic fit with other covers this Edition. So it’s the one I’m getting. Cohesion between cover styles is more important to me than individual flare from one cover to the next.

Behold, my proposed Special Edition for next year's crunch book!

Run in terror, from the tyranny of Eggshell! Um, Ivory! No .... Bone! Grrr.... Cream, flee from Cream!

YOU WILL BOW BEFORE OFF-WHITE!

C'mon, man. Those vertical lines are clearly a dark gray and dominate the work.

I like the standard cover. But I also like the limited covers... They look more "in-universe" and can go right in my treasure room

I like both, but for reasons of consistency alone, I'll go for the standard one. If they had offered limited edition covers like that right from the start, that might have been different.

Despite nobody wanting the varient cover, I can't find one in my city.

I saw a picture of the back and front cover of the regular edition as one picture - no text, just the picture. It looked much better.

I was hoping for a special edition cover to match my Volo's, but apparently they really cut back on the number available since the stores around here only got a few each that went to those who had reserved them. I'm not really annoyed though, since the regular version with the Xanathar goofily grinning at its pet goldfish is a really fun cover!

I like the standard cover. They could have used the alternate as a cover page in the book. That utilizes both pieces if art. I'd say use alternate for back cover but itd be covered with words, price, barcodes, etc.

I haven't liked any of the special edition covers. Every time I see a new special edition cover unveiled I'm forced to ask "This is supposed to entice me to go buy it from my FLGS right when it comes out?" And to conclude that, at least for me, it totally fails to do so.
