I think its horrendous. I'm not anti-the artist I just think the idea behind it is all wrong. I wish they'd have gone for a more 'grown up' style. We're all older now and not still stuck in the 1980's.

Awful.
I can understand the font even if I dont like it. They've always stuck with it. Maybe its the only one theyve got a licence for!
Can't slag off Chaosium boys too much.. they're releasing my monograph.
My idea wouldve been to have a much more detailed artist (Bradstreet or detwiller maybe) with something similar to the MegaTravellers players book. A portal of a craft with characters on the viewers side hiding from a figure on the outside.
A realistic medieval man at arms(blood, scars, dark chainmail), a very modern NATO soldier(ar15,clips, kevlar), and a toned-down super (jacket, glowing fists) with maybe a war droid on the outside in the trees looking for them.
just my opinion.
