#1 ranadiel Nov 05, 2008 18:00:09	So I just happened to wander into the Dragon section today and I noticed that there is a new cover up for this month's issue. I must admit that I really like this new image better. My guess would be that it is of Baphomet. I'm certainly excited to see his article now.
#2 Artifact Nov 09, 2008 23:46:15	I actually preferred the original cover. It was a re-use of the cover from Dragon Magazine #303 (the print issue that featured "Campaign Components: Gladiators). A bit brighter, more eye-catching. Hopefully the original cover makes it into the monthly art gallery (but I doubt it). I notice some of the Demons are being "re-used" as well ;). Baphomet was originally featured in issue #341, in a Demonomicon article by James Jacobs. Haven't taken the chance (yet) to compare the two, see if there's any substantive differences in fluff. The articles are 3.5 and 4e respectively, so mechanics are different.

#4 Artifact Nov 09, 2008 23:55:27	Yeah, Baphomet has a place in D&D, well beyond the Demonomicon articles. I just think it's amusing that it's not only covers we're seeing once again.
