WB29 cover ? (Awesome)
Is THIS official?
I hope so, probably one of the most stunning covers to date IMO.
Apologies if this has been mentionned, a quick search revealed nothing.

It looks real, but I really doubt Palladium would allow the artist to publish the cover art before the book comes out or at least they have the art on their own website.
If it is real I would assume that it will be taken down real quick.

The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".

It's listed on Mark Evan's website as the Madhaven cover... strange it hasn't appeared here first.
It's a gorgeous piece - I can't stop staring at it!

Reminds me of how KS was talking about how he hasn't picked the Hades cover yet in a recent murmur, yet weeks ago he'd sent something off to Previews to be the cover.

The cover saids to me " Hey lets check out these ruins and see what we find." not " I got a bad feeling from these place, I better stay away."
I don't know if that makes sense. It just feels wrong for a book based on one of the scariest places on earth.
just my 2 cents
Whatever man. That cover is creepy as hell.

Well, it does fit with the theme of the book, thats for sure. There is talk of salvage operations to retrieve some of the best loot in all of Rifts Earth, but a what price? It might not be creepy, until the driver of that hover truck become possesed and tries to plow through the crowd. Or a tectonic entity takes control of that Dynamax arm and lets loose that slammer. Creepy is what you make of it.

True to each their own.
I just wish the picutre would hint that there's more to it then it seems.
like red eyes showing out of the shadows, a light fog with a deamonic face in it... something like that. To show all is not what it seems.
But what do I know I liked the Arzon cover(well the consept more then the drawing) it hinted that there was more there then what it looked like at first if you look good.
I myself can overlook the lack of hidden maning in this madhaven cover because the visual aspects of it are very well done. I cannot however overlook the lackluster visuals in the Arzno cover even though it does have good iconography.
This (potential) madhaven cover gets an A- in my book while the Arzno cover gets a C- (which is slightly below average not "total crap")

This cover is visually stunning, a true masterpiece.
Hopefully, the resolution disparity between digital and print (as in whatever printer Palladium uses) is not so great that the physical cover will be less awesome.
I also think that it is perfect for Madhaven. There is a quiet insanity to the piece, a quiet sense of dread that seems to speak: "Look what happened here in the past, now wait to see what happens here now, when darkness falls..."

again the cover is good(not arguing that), but creepy I don't thing so.
It reminds me more of an old WWII picture of the clean up of Berlin.

See, that stuff (imo) is just way too overt. Madhaven is about madness slowly creeping in. I think Josh said it best.
If it translates onto paper to look as good as it does on the screen, it will probably be my favorite cover. Palladium should make a killing selling prints of it.

Ever since the original Rifts Main Book, Madhaven has been a draw for treasure hunters.
And isn't most part of it in water?
No.

Not all adventures are smart.

Infact, the fallacy within their preparation, or rather lack there of, only adds to the quiet insanity of the depiction.

darkmax wrote:okay, my bad. Let me correct that.
Would adventurers go out roaming in a open top truck? I don't believe they will buy a hover truck just to haul treasures out of Madhaven, right?
There are plenty of vehicles in Rifts with open tops that adventurers would use, including hovercycles. Whether or not having such a vehicle will be a disadvantage to them in their travels depends on circumstance.
~ Josh
Open top allows for maximum field of fire in this case, all the better with which to defend that treasure you just risked your life to be able to sit on since you overloaded the hovertruck. Most treasure hunters I've gamed with vastly prefer open top vehicles because theres virtually no limit to the size of what you can carry home - statues dont fit in most trucks very well, neither do bank vaults.

Oh! I forgot about those. But hover cycles are far more manuevreable than a truck. But I see your point.
No, but hauling treasure with the hold wide open is not a good thing. For example, a dragon could come along and decide to take the load for itself. You won't even be able to shoot it by the time you get out of the cab of the truck. Secondly, bandits could easily "collect" their fills without anyone ever knowing.
Are any of the vehicles depicted even open top though?

In my Old Rifts mainbook, Yeah, it say NYC/Manhatten is underwater and in ruins.
I'd have loved it if they had kept the City flooded. Water 1 to two stories high would be great. It would make Treasure Hunting there more of a problem as it should be. Add in things in the water and building...bamm
They changing of of NYC from a flooded city to a dry city is another reason i wont be buying it. Just one of many.

Clean up? Those things looked like they've been there for years, especially the big robot. An adventure party is passing through, while a few of the residents are about to scatter, or rather they are part of the Adventure Party that is moving through..
One of the main things said about Madhaven is " Madness, ghosts, monsters and mutants " Yet the cover(?) nither shows or hints to this.
To me, again just me, this is a let down to what is going to be(I think) will be a great horror setting.
It definitely hints at it. Remember, Madhaven is not about overt horrors, something that this cover indicates great with several little bits within it. It's perfect.

If the displacement of water by "Atlantis" raised the waters of the entire east coast like the old books says, then its underwater.
Otherwise, Florida should be as it is now. Not half of it underwater.
RUE ignores the NYC area it seems. What a surprise, not...

If the displacement of water by "Atlantis" raised the waters of the entire east coast like the old books says, then its underwater.
Otherwise, Florida should be as it is now. Not half of it underwater.
RUE ignores the NYC area it seems. What a surprise, not...
Well, how about you both pull our your RMB's, list what editions you have, and quote the specific parts from the Erin Tarn text.
Then, as Josh and I love to poke at each other about, then remember that those are quotes illegally taken from a fictional character about Rifts Earth and hold about as much water as a Kleenex in comparison to what KS decides is the real answer when he releases a book on a place.

It's one of the few books next to Arzno which I want. I do have a request though. Can we stop throwing existing continuity out the window instead of working with it. One does get tired of the "poof" there it is effect.

Palladium can't be given a free pass for criticism because people have a lot of emotion invested in it.
Pathfinder is good. It is not the second coming of D&D.

I don't do that, and neither does my co-author, Taylor White.

Though I slipped him a $20 to do just that in regards to a lot of the damage scaling in The original Triax Book. Man just can't be bought.

I'd have loved it if they had kept the City flooded. Water 1 to two stories high would be great. It would make Treasure Hunting there more of a problem as it should be. Add in things in the water and building...bamm
They changing of of NYC from a flooded city to a dry city is another reason i wont be buying it. Just one of many.
In my book, it states that Manhattan has risen and is an island no longer....
Madhaven should be on dry land.

well the magic level was more raw and powerful during the choas earth times then present rifts times.I not saying this dont take alot of power but the fact is it was done perhaps the authors of madhaven will offer something up about it in the madhaven WB

Which is too bad because imo it defeats the purpose of having any continuity at all. Mind you I do not mind seeing it in a few books as long as it does not happen all the time and makes sense. Like I said before I rather not see anymore "poof" there it is in the continuity.
I do have to ask though why is it so hard to work with existing continuity for Palladium? Most other gaming companies do.
