I'd forgotten how good the Dragon 309 cover was. That and the Dungeon 110 cover. Both excellent.
Not so wild on Dragon 316 cover spy. Unless spies are meant to fall out of their tops while on dangerous missions against powerful villians or sumin'...:)
This is usually the part of the movie where I spout off a lot of rhetoric, best summarized as "don't judge a book by its cover."
Well, I won´t, but your average viewer at the newsstand has not much else to judge from (besides cover blurbs that remind me of tabloid press sometimes anyway, so that doesn´t make it much better).

Yeah, just got an e-mail from one of the ladies I play with. She wants to try her hand at DMing the adventure that the cover pertains to.
So, in my perspective, good cover. It brought a female player into the DM role. Something I and my lady friend's husband could not do in 3 years.

Well now that you mention it, I think it's called an Improved Feint... ;)
I don't know she seems strapped in there pretty tight, and trust me I looked!

PS One more cover just because it is one of my all time favorites: Dragon 126.

I object to THIS cover because she shot the guy 3 times allready and he's still a comin'; doesn't she have the brains to diddy mow? Sheesh!!!

Improved Feint? Maybe to get a dagger in the side of the bloke who just caught her snitching the Secret Plans, but certainly not to break line of sight for a hide check. I was thinking it might be the set up for a bardic Fascinate ability, followed by a Suggestion. Not all perform checks are made with singing. With a charisma bonus like that, she's prone to pull off a Feeblemind gaze effect, making the saves that much harder.
Have any of you people complaining about this cover of Dungeon being smut looked through your 3.5e Monster Manuals recently? Maybe you should look at the nymph, I am sure there is other things that can be suggestive, like the half-fiend chick's breast spikes, even if she is ugly. Mmm... succubus, take a look at her... yeah, this cover should start looking rather tasteful now... lets continue shall we... Dryad there is nude, but she looks like a peice of wood, oh well not a good explain probably... moving on. OMGWTFBBQ look at the harpy! NASTY!
Mmm... the mephit chick looks good, anyone else thing she is holding that sword suggestively though, you do not stroke a longsword...
Anyways, I can't really say much about female gamers, my wife is a female gamer, and my friends girlfriend is a female gamer, the other five of us are white male gamers. However, my wife atleast will not make women who are not attractive (her charisma score is always high), actually she finally branched into playing male characters, but once again, all her male characters have high charisma.
I did not feel bad about this magizine cover (the first of my subscribtion), as most the religious people I work with already think I am a demon worshipping godless cannibal for playing a game that spawns a gate to hell for demons to come through every time I open a book.
Thank you dungeon for the beautiful art work!

Base speed my lad, base speed.

Hmmm....I'm sure lunch room conversations are interesting where you work!!
The cover was stunning. The woman was too. As was the related adventure - hire the Conners again, please.
And Eric, I've been a subscriber since issue 4 - sorry to see you go man. Great job!

HAHAHA ..I like that
and Arcmagik, I didn't state that I thought the cover was smut. It's the other 4 letter s-word. Just so you know....

It's all good to state your tastes and make your preferences known, but this is just rude to the artist.

"Good and evil we know in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably; and the knowledge of good is so involved and interwoven with the knowledge of evil, and in so many cunning resemblances hardly to be discerned, that those confused seeds which were imposed upon Psyche as an incessant labour to cull out and sort asunder, were not more intermixed. It was from out the rind of one apple tasted that the knowledge of good and evil, as two twins cleaving together, leaped forth into the world. And perhaps this is that doom which Adam fell into of knowing good and evil, that is to say of knowing good by evil."
Milton said it best.
I think the cover is quite 'good.' Also, there's a big difference between disliking a thing and outright disparagement...
Sorry, I was being facetious.
No offence intended.

Yeah, that can actually be considered as a valid clothing strategy for a female spy, at least one who does not go for quiet, invisible cleaning lady route.
