Well met
Many thanks for scooping these, Xysma. I'll update the product pages on the site today rather than wait for a site update.
The Neversfall image is the older image and has been superceeded by the one I put up in the site update yesterday, I believe. |

I'm inclined to agree with Rino. I loved the older covers for the "Sembia" series. They had a unique way of conveying both the 'spirit' and 'feel' of the Land of Merchants that I've not seen elsewhere.

| Sorry for another more or less negative post, but I agree that the older covers where better. They were not among my favorites stylewise , but they fitted the series perfectly. These seem far more generic and gives one less of an idea of the main characters personality. |

Well I may as well chime in. I'm also in agreement. Whilst I quite liked the covers in the Fighters series, which fit reasonably well, I don't think the new Sembia covers do the series justice at all. The original covers portrayed the flavor and feeling of the setting perfectly, IMO.
Nevertheless, judge not a tome by it's cover, for the Sembia series is still an fantastic read  |

Unlike classic rock records where one should always judge by the cover (hey, hairy guys trying to look mean, here one finds guitars. Strange paintings; we are here met by progressive pompous rock. What, this guy smiles! Put it right back). Yes, yes, I know; moderators coming. Look busy. |
