cover art of Sourcebook 1: Civilization Gone used elsewhere?

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

cover art of Sourcebook 1: Civilization Gone used elsewhere?

Unread post by Tor »

I was doing a reverse-image search on the thumbnail in the store to see if there was a higher-res version and happened across this strangeness (took a screenshot of results):

http://s29.postimg.org/oul80zd5j/Civili ... _Image.jpg

It seems a moderately good resolution image was in use as late as September 2010. Not sure when it was first put up.

Now I know it came out in 2009 so a year is plenty of time for people to modify it, but I got curious if this was an official use of the art or not.

Was Dead Reign's first sourcebook possibly being promoted in some kind of heavy metal or death metal style rock and roll magazine?

When I went to http://blackmetal.hu/pics/2/p2.jpg I got an error though

and it isn't archived, so I can't find anything high-quality enough to find out how it was being used.

Thus we shall turn to Brulyx 10:1 - "As the Politically Correct crowd revealed the unspoken truth to Gregius, he thus turned to the Retro-Savages and said the words... 'Blasphemy! Such use of our Lord and Master's art is forbidden! Ye must grab thy Heavy Metal and all thy Psychedelics and toss such out thy window! Leave thy Death Metal in thou player, for ye must pay tribute to our Lord and Master by introducing Legion of the Damned, Rapture, and other such legends Into the Moat!'" Even so, that is weird. Please take care; thanks a bunch, and have a good day.
