This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What were they thinking? The RPG art cringe thread :D

This book is called "Viking Age" (not "Sexy Fantasy Vikings" or some such), and the art pieces on the front and back really give me a lot of confidence in this product.

   Avalanche Press was notorious for their cheesecake covers during the d20 boom.

So was Dragon magazine, back in the day.

I think I'll make new D20 campaign book about authentic viking culture. How do you like this as a cover? :D


Okay, this has inspired me. For my next campaign world the Tieflings are going to be Vikings.

Those aren't horned helmets... they're helmets with holes for horns.  ;D

At least they fixed the problem in their later books....

Elmore's stuff may have been cheesecake but damn if it didn't at least look better than this stuff. Avalanche's covers look suspiciously like photomanipulation.

;D

maybe we could blur the titles and play a game of "guess what this book is about".

Has anyone read these? I wonder what the text is like.

Personally I am not his biggest fan, but I have nothing against Elmore's type of cheesecake.

I saw this the other day and thought it was a joke.  Nope, it's an Evil Hat game.

Tracing porn is my guess.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Found some superb one-liners from this game

"If you love angsty disaster lesbians with swords, you have come to the right place."

"In this book, you'll find:
Flirting, sword-fighting, and zingers in a system designed for both narrative drama and player safety."

Player safety?  Are swords going to fly out of the pages?

Joking of course, but it deserves mockery.  I rather have the cheesecake than the virtue signaling bullshit any day.  The cheesecake is more honest at least as it is just sex sales.
