Today I have worked on a cover mockup for the upcoming Gearbox RPG System. I have to admit I am quite content with how it turned out and aside from a few minor changes this might actually become the final cover.
For me creating a cover is an important part of game design. In a way, it gives a game a “face”, something you can relate to. How do you like this cover?
Love it. I’d ensure it prints ok in black and white and then might lighten it a touch as it would be pretty heavy on a printer.
Have you tried printing it black and white?

Quite impressive! I like it a lot, except the gears teeth spacing is not quite right…(tooth bigger than interspace)
Nice, I like it, presents a good indication of what it is (a universal system). Only thing I might do is make the gears bigger, maybe a shadow under them? Make them stand out a little more. Very cool though, cannot wait to see this game!

Hmm, adding some shadows to the gears might be a good idea.
Glad I could help! Any idea when we will see this?

Oh, this may take a while. My initial plan was to be done before next Gen Con, but that’s still 10 months away. So it’s quite possible I will be done sooner. It probably depends on how much free time I have during the christmas holidays.
That looks phenomenal! Any help you need on it, let me know!

@Rob: I will work on a printer-friendly version when the normal one is done.

Will Gearbox be related, in any way, to WRM and RAG?
Since it will be written by me there will be a similar design philosophy and a few mechanics might be close to what you have seen in WR&M. But Gearbox is not a Wyrm game at all.
