Cover Design Poll

[woodwardiocom]

-My publishers are taking a poll to see what the cover design for GURPS Fourth Edition should look like. Since the quality of the 4e covers could have an impact on my income over the next few years, please vote, especially if you have no interest in GURPS or RPGs. (We want to draw new people in with this edition, you see.)

As a non-RPGer who still sometimes buys the books. . .

For what it's worth, I really liked the one with the woman on the cover -- until I noticed that she was holding a giant penis, at which point, if I were going strictly on jacket design, I'd write GURPS off completely.

...until I noticed that she was holding a giant penis...

-That was SJGames' original design. Trust me, there was much outcry about the giant dildo launcher, which apparently no one in the office had noticed. (Also note that, on the companion cover, the swordsman is holding his lightsword directly in front of his crotch...)

How can you miss a four-foot long penis?

-Please don't give me straight lines like that, sis.

According the site, and contrary to your headline, it isn't a cover art poll, it is a cover design poll. They want you to vote irrespective of the actual art (such as, I guess, dildo launchers. Pity.)

-Right you are.

The second pair is almost ideal -- I quibble over font size and style.

I would have voted...

but they've already closed the poll... I'd have chosen the last one, as a pun on "Set". ;-)
