[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9502122, member: 7020527"] Irrelevant and too subjective to judge. Besides, we established it does a lot a cover hsould - shows off the setting, shows off the main cast and antagonist and puts them into a contrast so you know this will be a story about heroes being put into a situation outside their comfort zone, likely a fish out of water. From the setting and antagonist we can even infer it will have heroes not used to gothic horror being forced to confront it. It does what a cover to a book like this hsould. Do you have any criticism that isn't just your personal feeling as a basic to judge it as bad? Gothic as in literature, not architecture. The stairs and archways? Except the complaint was that the new cover doesn't look like Ravenloft. Gothic horror only entered the conversation as an answer to question "what makes something look like Ravenloft then?". And if that answer is "gothic horror makes something Ravenloft", then it falls apart the moment we agree gothic horror can be put into D&D and not necessairly make it Ravenloft. And to this I will ask: Why are you playing this in D&D when Warhammer Fantasy does it much better? Why are you playing it in D&D when World of Darkness does it much better? Why are you playing it in D&D when Call of Cthulhu does it much better? Have you considered maybe you would be more satisfied playing a different game? [/QUOTE]
