Semi-late to the game.
My first impression with the D&D 4e covers was shocking disgust. I'm better today, but for the life of me, I can't say
why I don't like the covers. When I saw the planned DCC somewhat mirrored the 4e corebooks, I was saddened a bit. I liked the 1e retro look of the first 52. I'm pretty easy going with this sort of thing, and hearing 'we needed to be obviously 4e' was all I needed to understand the direction. It makes absolute sense.
Suggestions I would have:
- Add colour to the covers! It looks like the ones so far are all white. Where's the blue, green, red,
pink?!? I love getting a rainbow of colour, and for me, it's a recognizable DCC trait.
- I think the rest of the cover is fine, but the font is a little on the sterile side. Very pointy corners.
- All the info on the covers is pertinent to a cover. You could even add a 4e notice, but with the covers somewhat similar to the 4e books, compatibility is probably assumed.
Don't know if that's useful at all, but this was a thread for everyone to throw their 0.02 into the hat, so there you go. I would find that colour would warm the covers a lot though. Mr. Goodman would know best if black outsold pink by a mile
