One of the party members is a treasure chest with a head inside it?

It's the new psionic class.  You trade all your physical abilities for increased mental abilities.  
 
I've not really cared for any Kenzer games so far but the cover is cool and I'm curious about their basic set.

I really hope that's for real, a floating head with mind powers would be pretty fun actually.  :)

No, that's the Head of Vecna.  The monsters are guarding it.

That's just one monster.  Kenzer asked for a hydra and that thing is what Otus produced.

Hackmaster the game doesn't interest me at all, but damn, now I might just buy the game for the art.

I think that's actually a hand in the chest.

The bigger picture gave me that impression..

Nice.

Will also be interesting to see their take on a "Basic," too.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

Because it's a Hackmaster game that is neither D&D based, or humorous, according to the developers.

I've never paid much notice to Hackmaster... but now I'm kind of curious.
