Looks great, Bill. Seriously, you're doing a great job of capturing the old school feel.

I really like the look of the three insets below the main picture.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Agree with the additional smaller cover art at the bottom.
Love it!

Personally I dont care for the cover art. Good theme but poor execution.

I like the black and white sections better than the color part, but I think I would like the cover more if it was a dull gray, no color. Guess I'm weird. Never been a fan of the flashy colored books... some of my favorite things are just simple black and whites, with maybe some red/blue -- something like The Arcanum 1st edition, for example. Yeah, I'm stupid. Cool design.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Not too bad on the artwork. More cleavage on the vampiress would be nice. Hell, why not get rid of the robe altogether and just have her walking around in a unicorn hide thong? :compress:

If you like the B/W cover art, just buy more copies of RC1-3

The notion of that vampire in the nude makes me wonder if the creators can produce a double cover (like the old 1e ad&d modules), using the second cover to full effect.

ADV1 The Vampire's Curse goes on sale tomorrow. For those attending NTRPG Convention, you can purchase your copies there, or pick them up if you purchase on-line. Module will ship beginning June 7, 2010.

Thank you again for all of your wonderful support.

And just a note to all you female vampire lovers out there...you will be in for a shock when you actually read the module. :twisted:

Just bought an ADV1 today.

I got the email from pacesetter saying this was the last day for the standing order program buyers to buy one.

This is like that much quoted scene from Dirty Harry. In all the excitement I'd forgotten if I'd ordered 2 copies or only 1, so, since I wasn't feeling lucky, I ordered a copy today.

Did anyone in the standing order program get an earlier email about ADV1?

I will have to check my paypal records. I've ordered 3 of the TM1, but I just don't remember the earlier ADV1 email.

Yep, I definitely remember the ADV1 email. Looking back, there was one on May 13 and another on May 24th.

Jason,
It would be strange if you did not because I have not deleted anyone on the SOP list. But let me know if you were omitted previously. Thanks again for your support.

Bill,

Let me know how many I have on order. I don't see the ADV1 anouncement except for the last call today. If I received it I would have ordered so if I have more than 1 copy on order (and paid for) then I received that earlier announcement and must have accidently deleted it.

Jason
EDIT: looks like I ordered a copy on the 24th

So that is 2 ADV1 (cool, should have ordered 2 from the start) and 3 TM1's.
