Then I like the nation sourcebooks for <i>7th Sea</i> by Therese Nielsen, such as Avalon, Vodacce, and Eisen. I can also think of many books with interior art I liked in its depiction of women, especially the old Jeff Laubenstein and Janet Aulisio art for Shadowrun 1 & 2 and Earthdawn 1, and the Brian Snoddy art for L5R 1. But finding <i>covers</i> with good female characters is a bit harder.

She's surly and suspicious, and she has a cool coat. She reminds me of a cool girl I gamed with in high school.

The Roseblack was one, and while I never wanted to play Harmonious Jade, she weighed in to persuade me I might want to play Exalted. Although it takes a lot of effort to get past the noses, Artesia has a cool cover, and some kickass art. I frequently liked the women in Tribe 8. There were also a couple of kickass girl pirates in 7th Sea, and some of the noblewomen, even if the majority of women in the book are in corsets (which is sexy, but could have varied out more). Hmm.

I've got one! I love the cover of "<a href="http://www.phagepress.com/AmberDetail.shtml" rel="nofollow">Amber Diceless Roleplaying</a>." She's powerful, she's clothed (in fascinating stuff!), she's pretty, she's not triple-D... And the painting is just plain well-done. And there's a lot to consider in it. Oo! I’ve got one!

Ahem. The only illustration I could find that I can remember actually inspiring me to play a character is this one: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/peaseblossom101/chex1.jpg Honestly, there was no way I was going to not play Changeling anyway, but the art did help.

The Roseblack (woman in Green Armour) was one of the few that I could think of off the top of my head, too. Heh.
