An extremely graphic idea but it could be problematic.
The fact that the embodiment of Chaos is called the Devil is bad enough
but featuring him on the front cover, unless he looks like a toad or
something totally undemonic, strikes me as a really bad idea. You guys
have fundementalists in America and unless RQ:AiG is planned to be
marketed on the publicity gained by being publicly declaimed by those
who leap on band wagons this could could be a bad mistake.
Even a bleeding Storm Bull could lead to allegations of advocations
How about a party of experienced and varied troop of adventurers, from
of self-imolation. Very unpleasant. This not to mentioning the all
male combat scene with someone fighting a baltent and hideous monster.
alligned Cults, in a very uneasy negotiation with a pack of Trolls,
complete with attendent Trollkin. This might put forward an important
part of RuneQuest, that monsters are people too and essentially evil
in their nature as they are in some other backgrounds.
You could go to town on all the trappings of both sides to reflect
the richness of the Gloranthan background. Feature runes, really
lived in armour and other personal and heraldic effects.
