Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm dissapointed there isn't a naked woman transposed over the man

I just looked at Da Vinci's drawing, I must've been thinking of someone else's drawing based on Da Vinci's.

The new cover is a nice surprise to me... I really like it.

I liked the idea of the basic Chaosium logo cover... but I'm not sure it would mean as much to someone new to the game...

Yep. The logo cover was perfect for the Zero Edition, but the new one is better for the first edition I think.

A previously mentioned black and silver cover would have been very sharp. I agree with you though, it doesn't really describe the contents of the book well to those unfamiliar with the system.

Default At last... All the Worlds of Wonder in one picture!

Congrats on a very good front page work. It's just great. I can't express it any other way.

Thumbs up

Well, now, can't say I mind that cover at all. And it'll be nice to see my name inside, too, even if my contributions were paltry compared to some.

Looks like the release datae is now approaching faster than it's receding, so hopefully we'll catch up with it soon!

Any chance of getting that cover image as a wallpaper?

BTW, I spotted a possible (unintentional?) inspiration to the new BRP Core book in a Warhammer 40K supplement on this page:

Black Industries

Scroll a little further down and you'll see what I mean. I've no intention of blaming anyone for not coming up with the BRP book front cover idea without this influence, though! It can be, as I said, unintentional.
