Overly Honest RPG Book Covers

[neko ewen]

So, on Something Awful's Comedy Goldmine section, they had a feature called Real College Textbooks, where people had photoshopped the covers of textbooks to be overly honest about the contents, so there are things like "Network Security (And Other Amusing Oxymorons)" and "An Introduction to MOTHERF***ING LASERS AND SHIT!!!"

So, what if the same kind of thing were done with RPG books? The only one I was able to think of was for Exalted: Sidereals there should be a caption on the cover that reads: "Don't even try to run a campaign chronicle." ^_^;

[Arbane the Terrible]

"Now with brain-meltingly long spell lists!"

That sort of thing?

[Marius B]

"This book contains all you need to play except for the bits we decided to spread over a dozen or so other books!"
This could go on the cover of a number of core books.

[Mock]

I'm not picking on any book in particular here, so nobody freak out, 'kay?


"This Book Will Freak The Norms."

"WE HAVE A COOL SLOGAN. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S STILL A ROLEPLAYING GAME."

"The Shiny Pages Resist Cheedue Stains."


"Tolkien knock-off."

"Another Tolkien knock-off."

"Yeah, We've Got Elves Too."
