The choice becomes tossing the art (that you've paid for) or gritting your teeth (occasionally even tweaking the character's text to match the art) and maintaining the production schedule. Considering what we've recently learned of the Organized Play production schedule, "there was no time to fix it" seems very likely to me.</p>
<p>Looking more closely at the shirren, I choose to think that she has her secondary arms safely folded up under there, with the fists up at the chest.</p>My educated guess regarding the shirren art is that sometimes, by the time the art comes in, it's too late to send back for revisions; you're stuck with what you get.

<p>Would it be mean to assume that a male-type person drew it?

<p>Why not just call this 04-01, that is what it is after all and how I will be listing it for events?

Which is understandable because it works differently than for 1e.
<p>It works like this: Intro 1 is "this is what the society is about" scenario. Intro 2 is "this is what factions are about" scenario. Intro 3 is "this is intro scenario to current year's metaplot". Aka every year will have new intro which is first scenario of the year. Next year will introduce "intro: year of whatever year 5 is"</p>
<p>So yes, it is both third intro scenario and 4-01</p>maldar wrote:So, I finally got around to checking this one out and at first I was really excited when I saw the word "INTRO".
