Judging a Book by Its (New) Cover

Those of you who have been waiting for a proper OVA update need wait no more. Here it is, the new cover! (Click to see it in its full-size glory.)



Even though this isn’t final, hopefully you all will find lots to love in the revised cover design. Like the rest of the book, the cover illustration is done by talented Niko Geyer, and you may even notice a new look for Wise Turtle Publishing itself!

The Kickstarter for OVA (previously mentioned here) is slated for late June/July, just in time for the game’s 7th anniversary. I’m still tinkering with the pledge premiums list, so if you have an opinion, be sure to let me hear about it! What sort of things would make you back at a higher level, and what would you pay for it? Gauging consumer interest will be very useful before jumping in the crowd-funding deep-end!

Keep checking by, as I will continue to post OVA updates leading up to the Kickstarter, including a look behind the curtains as I finalize the typesetting of the rules.

  1. I would back at a higher level if it meant the print run of this book was more durable. My old BESM book has the colours blurred into the pages. I am not familiar with printing techniques, but if this is available it would get my contribution. Maybe this is more suited as a stretch goal for the project rather than a pledge premium.

    Also, please allow for international shipping somewhere, there are people around the world who would contribute.

  2. What will be the goal for the Kickstarter? The only thing I'm interested in is the book/pdf to be released ASAP.

    I love the new cover and would love to see this game come out soon.
