Well, it's okay... (If anything, I'm more concerned with Plant Spirits than the picture). It's just that... Eh. The image I'm referring to is so weirdly proportioned that it may work for a spirit, but otherwise I could probably do without his art (also after scanning his website). [/QUOTE]

I'm suddenly reminded of some article I read about the deification of Superman.

I liked most of the artwork in previous editions (mullets aside).

As far as the new art goes, I like the plant spirit. Not sure what everyone's complaining about. I think it's better than the one above it, the "Magical groups" piece. It's a solid piece, but I'm kinda picky about my style of line-art.

The cover is a pretty solid piece too. It doesn't look like something out of my own campaign, and the males are a little "pretty" for my style, but it's a good pic.

I'm really looking forward to the book. I've been playing a bear shaman in my campaign for a couple months now, and I'm particularly interested in some more detail on exactly things like foci are supposed to work. More spells and other options are good, but I think the magic rules could use a little clarification. Some flavor text would be nice too. The magic rules don't talk much about how magic looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels, for instance. Also, some guidance on how spirits act and interact with people. These are things I think myself and most players are capable of handling on their own, but some guidance would be nice.

Doesn't it say that appearance depends on your tradition or outlook.

I'm not complaining about the plant spirit picture. I'm complaining about the artists' previous SR contributions and how much I wouldn't like to see that in this or future books when it comes to images of less abstract things like, you know, people.

I can't say I've ever seen a very complete description of Knight, much less a picture.

He's in Stranger Souls (I think that's the one. Or Clockwork Asylum). Sadly, his capitalist nature prevents him from doing the Right thing and gunning down Ryan Mercury.

Chuck Norris as Damien Knight is more believeable than Fastjack being Knight. Wasn't Knight an officier involved with Echo Mirage?

Of course that might be proof Knight isn't actually Chuck Norris or Mary Sue Mercury might have gotten a M-F#*! Round House Kick to the head!


MOST of the references an hints in Canon material actually point to Knight being Maj. David Gavillan, Chuck Norris as Knight is just a much more amusing concept to me.

Gavilan could have been so badass the USAF would overlook his beard... because he was Chuck Norris.

It's the least they could do considering he led a Delta team to rescue American hostages in Lebanon and then took down a hugely powerful Colombian drug lord, plus ... there is the matter of single-handedly stopping a communist mercenary (Even weirded that Commie Nazis, which kinda sorta exist) invasion of the United States.

You miss the obvious: David Gavilan was an African-Canadamerican. He received a dispensation from shaving his beard because he suffered from pseudofolliculitis barbae.

pseudofolliculitis barbae. Isn't that a condition where you grown Cthulu like tentacles from your chin?

You know we've managed to completely derail this thread, then again I guess there are only so many times it can be said that the Street Magic art looks pretty good.

No, just tiny boils on your neck from ingrown hair caused by people with tightly curly-haired beards shaving too closely. Common among people with African ancestory.

So it is actually a real condition then?
