Alternate cover for DCC #27
Hi there,
Does anyone know why new cover art was used for the second printing of DCC 27 Revenge of the Rat King?
Thanks!

Re: Alternate cover for DCC #27
Hmm... I thought there were two 'alternate' covers when it was first published: the original-PHB tribute cover, and the, um, er, the other one....

Re: Alternate cover for DCC #27
I thought that I read somewhere that one of the covers was thought to be too graphic for the bookstore shelf. After all some poor innocent kid might see it and and be tempted over to the dark side of gaming.

That's basically the story.

What did the original cover look like? I've only seen the one with the rat god statue holding the brazier and the adventurers around it.welland_warrior wrote:Hi there,

Just to clarify, it was published the first time around in A- and B-versions, the difference being the covers.Ramone wrote:What did the original cover look like?
Unless, I'm completely wrong.
Which I've been before.
But I don't think so this time...
