Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

Meh.

Double Meh.

Triple Meh, even. . .

But then again, the cover could be a priceless work of art and it still wouldn't get me to pay $20 for a preview.

Blech. Hate the picture. Skeptical about a "preview" book, but not dismissing it out-of-hand.

On the plus side, with all the tieflings they're showing before 4E releases, maybe they'll get it out of their system and I won't have to look at them anymore. I can hold my nose any get 4E, despite the tieflings. Just don't make it so hard to ignore them.

 

[hopeless]

regarding this

Any new information on this?

And by that I mean what its going to be about?

Last i heard it was the designers explaining what they've done to bring about the changes to the 4e phb but I am probably wrong on that.

While I love the art, I don't see me ponying up $20 solely for preview material. I'll need to peek through it a little before I make any final decisions.



Yeah, that's my favorite of the 4e preview sketches.

 

[Reynard]

IS this book a 4E specific book, or is it actually a look at races and classes throughout D&D and what they mean and why they are there? Does "premier designers" mean historically premier designers -- from Gygax to Mearls -- or does it mean the 4E R&D team?

 

[Irda Ranger]

Meh on the concept; meh on the art.

The whole concept of paying $20 for a rules preview bothers me.

As for the art, it's better than the average 3E art in someways, but (1) that sword looks like a light saber, (2) what's with those daggers?, (3) the horns are way over-played on the tiefling (a problem I have with all of the tiefling art), and (4) we still have a Hooker Plate (TM) problem with that rogue's outfit. Adventuring in high heels, are we? Blech.

EDIT: I prefer the pencil sketch, because it's not obvious the sword is glowing green.

I would just wait until someone pirated it. And most of the details will probably be posted here anyway once it is released.

I love your attitude it really makes me want to make more products like this...Not!

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

I'm not feeling the tiefling love, either ... but I admit that I much prefer the style of this art over what we've been shown for the cover of the core rulebooks thus far.

Just can't see purchasing two preview books with very little, if any mechanics, for $20 each...then purchasing a preview module for $30( I think). Why is it White Wolf gives free demo's and quickstarts of their games for free but to get the total "preview" of 4e is going to cost something like $70?

 

[tenkar]

Scott's point is valid... pirates don't hep any creative industry or the fans of such.

Actually, this is the first time I've seen a poster advocate pirating RPG material on these boards.
