And after 4A I thought Shadowrun had finally grown up and adopted a more mature (in he meaning of "grown up" not "tits") art style...


Run a B/W filter over it and change the font for the title to some illegible scribble, that could be the official black metal sourcebook (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well, good for you. I disagree there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The Hollywood emphasis deepens my suspicion that this is essentially an LA citybook (which is all but useless to me). I just hope Pegasus devotes a longer write-up to cover everything that is not Hollywood then.


I always assume everything that is relevant to a picture is hinted at or shown (or missing in an obvious way). This is not the case here. Assuming the cover wants to show something like a set, a hint at that would have been really useful.


There're flies with a longer life expectancy than you, then. At least in my games where publicity usually is the last thing you need for a variety of reasons too obvious to state.

Having your book lumped into the same category of the one listed above is not a good thing.

I just can't get that worked up over the cover art. It's not my favorite piece of cover art in the history of the game line, that's for sure, but that has little to do with the woman in the piece.

Excellent cover art (and interior art and layout) definitely help sell me on a book, but I don't typically judge a book by its cover.

After looking up said book I think I can safely say they don't deserve to be in the same category.

Uhm, no. I don't like it, but it's not that.... grautitous.

Last I saw anything relating to Attitude!, it wasn't an LA Citybook.

Hey, nice classy update today, Jason. Nice to see that Sandstorm affiliated products were pointed out.

Edit: I'd also love to know where the information came from that Attitude is Hollywood focused/LA citybook. I haven't seen anything that even mentioned LA yet.

It'S my own personal suspicion with the Hollywood centric theme of the book.

*shrugs* I guess. I don't immediately associate a book related to the modern day entertainment of the 2070's with Hollywood. There is actually a world-wide entertainment industry. Then again, I didn't get the feel (from the very short description) that it was specific to any one region's entertainment industry, more general information on running alternative campaigns/characters.

Just because you're passionate about something doesn't mean you have to go off like a raving loon when you don't get your way, and just because you go off like a raving loon when you don't get your way doesn't mean you're passionate about what you're doing, and either way, no one wants to work with someone who argues over every creative change that you may want to make to their contribution to a communal work.

Adam is right, which is something I never tire of saying. Attitude is not an LA city book.

Jason H.

Hmm. A Hail Mary, perhaps, but is some of this SR finery going to be available at GenCon?

No one is acting like a raving loon. I would rather work with a headstrong genius than an incompetent fraud. There is so much that still hasn't been translated to here from the dev forums. Bobby's work speaks for itself, and his passion.

Long and the short is there was a personality conflict that was not resolved correctly.

The problem started with divergent visions. It grew and festered, most likely compounded with trust breaking behaviours (on both sides). If it cannot be unified it needs to be handled carefully, and I am guessing it wasn't. I am guessing that conflict management or negotiations were not exercised, or the rolls were glitched.

And here's the funny thing about that. It speaks differently to different people. There are actually people out there *shock and horror* that dislike his style and some of his work. That doesn't make them wrong. It's an opinion. Sort of like Ancient History's views on the current material. It's an opinion, not gospel.

Adam is always right!

Ya know, it'd be nice if there was some Nerps™ product placement on the cover of something...

And then there are people who like his style and most of his general ideas, but not some of his work. Like, y'know, me. It's a vast and complex place, this world.

Before folk get knickers twisted, I'm just going to clarify here that you weren't calling JH an incompetent fraud.
rite? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/indifferent.gif)


As to the cover image, I'm more upset that she has her bipod deployed, her optics uncapped and an suck-ass vietnam-era box magazine. Shame on her!

Mass Hysteria, not pandemonium. Get your quote right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bull

My complaint about the covers both for Arsenal and Augmentation are they are too busy and appears to be flat. I like the war book a bit better because it has a lot of subtlety where the more you look at the artwork the more you discover, but it is still pleasing to view. Runner's companion is an probably the best example of good artwork. Your eye is drawn to one location and the artwork has depth rather than being flat. On War! The funny thing is my eye was drawn to the guy on the left because it represents more of how I see my characters.

Overall I think the fully clothed elf on SR4a is sexier than any of the other characters I have seen on the various covers.

While I'm generally not a fan of the SR4 coverwork--Augmentation, I'm looking at you--I can at least stand them. I've seen worse covers. What really bugs me is some of the interior art. Look at the metavariant pictures in the Runner's Companion (pp 47 and 56). Jeezum Crow, it's pretty bad.
I'm just glad the days of Laubenstein are gone. Your mileage may vary, but I for one could not stand his artstyle.
As for bad covers? Look at Dragons of the Sixth World. It's incredible artwork, mind you, I would really enjoy it--except the dragon has nipple piercings. WTF?

Correct. My statement wasn't tied to anyone. It was a general statement about personalities.

sadly, it makes AH seem no better then ol' frank.

looks like boba fett with boobs. Marginally better then the similar art in D20 future, simply because the armor do not feature a bare midriff (tho the black catsuit is, well, black colored "skin").

btw, checked the video she was from. Ugh, can they think up nothing better then to give the sith star destroyers and tie fighters? Heck, the main jedi of the video seems to the packing a companion droid not that dissimilar from R2. And here i thought the best that have happened star wars in recent times is the clone wars series that basically show the jedi fighting side by side with what eventually becomes the empire, complete with first gen star destroyers and storm troopers.

sorry, had to get that hammered out. rant over.
