ButI don't yet have them both to compare. I understood the new printing might have brighter colors (?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cover image looks like it’s had small tweaks to increase the colour chroma a bit. More dramatic is the picture of the trolls in the rubble, where you can see a lot more detail in the dark areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styopa Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 IMVHO the Bestiary cover is still way too dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drablak Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Are the maps of Dragon Pass more readable? The labels contrast for the names of places are really hard to read in the first edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colouring in the second printing is different, but for me it's hard to describe, what's the difference. And if it's better readable or not depends probably on your eyes ... But what helps a lot is, that the full Dragon Pass map from pp.134/135 is part of the Gamemaster Screen Pack in a much bigger size. In this version all names are clearly readable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't sit and "read" through a PDF. It's nice now to be able to open and simply read the book, easily flip between pages, see a full 2-page view, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
