Exclamation Cover is of Vitruvian Man, not Study of Man!!!

Dear All:

I cannot help myself; I have to vent about one of my pet peeves, poor research. Poor research and laziness in this article has ruined a potential educational experience for all. A failing made especially egregious since the internet puts an encyclopedia at our finger tips.

The author describes the book's cover in his review as: "The cover of Basic RolePlaying features a variation of Da Vinci's study of man..." This is incorrect, the cover art is an homage to Da Vinci's: Vitruvian Man, from Da Vinci's study in human proportion called the: Canon of Proportions.

To the author I implore; please, in future properly research your citations, the inclusion of a wiki link to the Vitruvian Man would have been a great opportunity to enlighten the ignorant.

Your humble servant,

mRgUnN
