BTW. The cover of Running Wild is just great! Has anyone seen the cover of SOLA? (ducks and runs...)

Running Wild does look pretty awesome. The guy also did one of my favorite pics from The Art of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.

Wow! I'm not sure why the dogs are flying, but wow, nonetheless. THIS is what Shadowrun art should look like. Incredible! Cute elf, too. :oops: |

I hope you are talking about the dude because that chick has tusk. Making her the hottest ork I have ever seen. Also, I love the hellhounds. |

She's a little thin for an ork. Maybe she's an ork-poser elf. :P

Well, according to Adam, the cover is already contracted for.

True, but it's like a choice between pest and cholera.

Sometimes it's not the best if you get both.
I would love to see a special version of all cure rulebooks to be released, like the Limited Edition of the main rulebook. Simply black, with the title printed in silver letters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif) |

This is a finer world you speak of, a world where I actually feel like buying supplements because I can put them on a bookshelf without posting a sign that says "The Management Would Like to Apologize For Bad Cover Art."
Of course I raise the specter or 2nd edition internal art. You know, the ones colored with crayons? |

I prefer the cover of Augmentation to Arsenal. I find it's actually grown on me. A bit. Runner Havens is still the best marriage of ability and content in the fourth edition material so far. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif) Guess which is the first page of the PDF that will be printed (Two guesses in case your first answer is "the cover")? And the silver colouring idea is great, I think minor prodding will make my GF do it. |

Post a pic when it's done. And to the powers-that-be (Synner, Adam, whoever): give us LEs of all core rulebooks! Yay! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I prefer the cover to Augmentation's cover.
It might grow on me...at least it's not offensively orange |

I don't know if I have liked any of the 4th edition covers.
BBB: Too many SR4 "in-jokes", jarring perspective and body angles, unclear lighting effects from the magic and my biggest complain, it had nothing to do with the interior intro story. Aresenal: Closest to liking, but still not quite there for me. the guns make no sense in scale to one another. Augmentation: Looks like bad 3d render and no perspective with the rest of the scene Emergence: Very frantic and hectic. I would think the AR boxes would be crisper, the fuzzy thing would drive me crazy. Haven't seen any other covers yet |

Has anyone seen any alternate covers for Arsenal? My PDF has the usual "Ork chick on a tank" cover, but one of my friends has a PDF with a modified version of the pg7 art for the cover.
Anyone else seen that one? |

That's the first interior page of the book, Ed.

I liked the orc on cover of Arsenal alot. Personally I think the orc female in it was very well drawn, and to me atleast it comes very close to how I picture a bad ass orc girl runner.

Nikoli, what were the BBB "in-jokes"?
If this isn't the cover for Running Wild then I don't envy the artist who lands the job. That's going to be a tough one to beat because that illustration is awwwwwwwwwwsome. PS: The Arsenal cover rules, Augmentation's cover is fo' foo's! Bwa-ha-ha! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) *runs away while ripping off clothes* |

What bothers me most about the BBB cover is how the lesbian elf ninja or whatever is holding her curved sword on her belt. That seems like a crappy way to draw a sword.
