[UA] UA2 Cover?

My thought is that it's done and you'll probably see it soon. :)

The cover is completely different. It's a pretty straightforward image of
three dukes (one of them is Eponymous) in a movie-poster kind of pose. One
of the errors we made with the original rulebook is that it's a good idea to
use human faces on the cover that the viewer can make eye contact with. It's
one of the first steps in getting people to identify with characters in the
game, and to want to be those characters. You'll see a lot more portraits in
the new interior art as well.

If you think of the original Shadowrun, those full-page portraits of
character templates were like a catalog of Who You Can Be. Very appealing,
and a great way to connect the player to the game world. Much of our work
UA2 is about strengthening that connection.
