So here it is 100% blue, and in the official one it is 88% blue. Seems clear to me.
Yeah i am for blue too. calming, but dystopian-desperate. Although i always like matrix-green too. |

Blue, it fits the mood better. The red just isn't right for a skyline shot.

Blue. You already used the red shot for the cover of Seattle 2072.

Red here, too. The blue one is too pretty, and I like ominous feel the red one gives off, like the city is on fire. Or the smog is real bad so you get a wonderful sunset.

*shuns them* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The red one just seems too malevolent and evil to me, like if you took the ominousness of the Seattle teocalli and applied it to the whole freaking city. Seattle is not owned by AZ. It should not look like it is owned by AZ. EDIT: But I still prefer the green one above all. |

I don't have anything against the red one, I just much prefer the nighttime skyline look for a Shadowrun product.

Red. Because it looks polluted and awful. Which is no less than Seattle deserves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Blue. Not Red, and especially not Green. Sorry.

I chose blue. Throughout all of SR's product lines, the blue-tones skyline/cityscape has been a staple of the artwork. I prefer it for it's consistency. Plus, it's just a bit more pleasing than the red.

I voted Blue. For me, something about "running the shadows" doesn't equate well with a burning red sky.

The blue one just has a lot more atmosphere to it, for me. Beside arguments in favour of the blue, I like the red, but I think it's too much of an attention grabber I think. Especially if you'd actually want to use it like a GM screen is intended, and have it on the table, with players looking at the back.
Any visual clutter that's not purposefully put there to increase immersion or provide a play aid, I like removed to minimal intrusion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) And no prob on being slow Jason, thanks for bringing it here ^^ Also, great to see the Toolkit progressing still. Any thoughts on a release date yet? |
