Content

Millennial Mage is in need of a cover update, and I'd love your opinion. 😁

Requirements:

Tala must be on the cover

Action-y is better

Inspired by a scene from the story

Not too spoilery (riding Terry is likely a no-go for this first one) ☹

From before she becomes an Archon (We'll likely do one for after, soon enough.)

I've put a few ideas, below. Let me know which you'd like best/which you feel best represents the tale.

If you can think of another scene, which you think would work, add it to the comments!

'Like' any in the comments that you think would be good.

Thank you!J.L.Mullins

Most of these look pretty good, but I’d veto the first (keystone post-teleportation). Throwing a topless girl (even if it’s just from behind) on the cover is probably sending the wrong signals.

Beeees!

Is it bad that I’m just having fun making 5e bars move back and forth?

David Brims

I'm tempted to say a sparring scene like Tala vs Rane or Tala vs Guards would be very actiony and the similar sizing would keep Tala full-size on the cover. The only issue is that the series in general is mostly about PVE, not about humans fighting humans, so it maybe gives the wrong impression.

Tala punching the lightning bull?

Aclys

That or people might think its some kind of magical terminator spin-off

Tala on Mistress Holly's operating table could be great. Her first inscription is a major event, and it shows off a bit of a "Mage" thing and maybe a bit of "Millenial" thing.

Adam Andersson

I voted for several choices, but wanted to say that the wildcard sound *very* appealing, to me, for a cover. A heavy emphasis on the inscriptions would be good for showcasing what makes your world unique. So would a cover with a caravan leaving one of the cities for the wilds. Edit: A zoomed out view of the fight with the midnight fox, with some... artistic liberties taken, to show Alefast in the background? Show off the ... What is the word... Not discrepancy, not duality, not opposition, not parallel... It's on the tip on my tounge. "Fancy" word, I think I learned it when a TV show wanted to show off how pretentious a character was...

Adam Andersson

Could be a good way to show off the inscription focus, tho

James Hadfied

Could also do her punching a thunder bull, or something with the ending tree in background.

dennis malatesta

Tala getting inscripted or just showing inscriptions on her would make a nice cover

Isaac Boyles

My real vote is just to include Terry in some way, don't care how
