Art on the Companion Cover

I'm almost afraid to start another discussion of art, but I did want to praise SJG for choosing to use the Octopo art on the cover of the Companion -- I think it's perfect, and removes the idea that it might have something to do with the coming game components -- even if it IS foreshadowing something else in the future. (Though, in the interim, you might have to offer a stretch goal down the line of "Five Unusual Wizards" in order to "explain" to the customer why that art's on there!)

I think that Octopo necromancer is a brilliant and highly evocative piece of art (in fact, it vaguely reminds me of the cover of that old game Necromancer that you guys used to publish back in the early days; though that's probably just the skeletons talking...).

Anyway, excellent choice for the Companion's cover, to my mind!
