Oh, also?  It's only on every other page.   Not every page.

[Michael Chandra]

Well fifty-fifty IS a fair compromise.

[Valnar]

I agree that I don't like the particular picture they chose, but meh. I'm sure I won't even see it any more after having read the book for the first time.

Found a spelling mistake on page 55.
"BThe Loyalty rating ranges fro, 1 to 6, while the Connection rat-
ing ranges from 1 to 12."
Pretty sure the "B" at the BEginning shouldn't BE there *rimshot* Also, there probably should be a an "m" at the end of "from"

Maybe this is sort of a Rorschach test, and he just failed.

Is there a psychoanalyst in the house? Anyone?

We need to deconstruct Wildcard's deep, pathological hatred of androgynous mercenaries...

...on second thought, let's not.

Ever.

Yeah I might get my feelings hurt... Ohh wait, I'm not androgynous!

.. And since when did I have feelings? Anyone?

[Patrick Goodman]

I'm pretty sure those got caught on the last round of proofing, Valnar. Not positive, mind you, but pretty sure.

[Wildcard]

Yes, it is.

Probably not the best idea then to put one that's bound to turn off a portion of potential buyers then, yeah?

Or, you know, draw people in, because it's a very fun looking piece.  You have this crazy looking blue-haired elf firing a machinegun and laughing his ass off while doing so.  That's the very definition of Shadowrun.

A lot of folks actually like that piece quite a bit besides myself, so...  <shrug>  I'm a little baffled by your hatred of it, to be honest.

And, just so everyone who hasn't had the chance to see what we're talking about here, it's not even the full color image that WC posted.  It's this as a header image at the top of each page:



Calm down, WC.  You have your panties in a twist over nothing.  I mean, really?

It literally disgusts me. It's like looking at Michael Jackson or Emile Hirsch's face. There's just something *WRONG* there that needs to be eliminated from existance with extreme prejudice.

And *that*, of all pictures, was chosen to be on every other page in the entire book.

Horrible, horrible judgement.

And anyone who's had the book for more than a week will barely even notice.

[Critias]

There's just really no room in you to accept that maybe you feeling that strongly has more to do with you than it does with that picture, do you? 

[Patrick Goodman]

How do you know it's the whole book? They might be doing a different image on a per-chapter basis.

[Michael Chandra]

I have to admit by the way, the cutout is creepy. I'm expecting a dissonant techno AI with that face, or a titan rising from the waves of the ocean.

[Valnar]

Well, while I don't share Wildcard's hatred for it, they really could have chosen an image that says more about the game than half of an apparently unaugmented face of somebody. Really doesn't say much about the game or the setting xD

[Angelone]

I think we finally know what Plan 9 looks like.

It's poorly done. Echo has always sucked at drawing men. Not sure why that one was let slip. I'm going to make a unsubstantiated guess she gave a home team discount.

[Michael Chandra]

*shrugs* Seemed like a normal elf to me.
