[QUOTE="Gravenhurst48, post: 9229479, member: 7018321"] You have NEVER purchased anything just because you appreciated, liked, loved, or wanted to invest in sumfin good because the art rocked the kazbah? OK, I try a different spin. You NEVER have been INFLUENCED to purchase something because the cover looked cool? For me, I scooped any AD&D book by Jeff Easley just because the art was frkn awesome. The Wilderness and Dungeoneering Survival Guides are two examples I purchased, read thoroughy, and never used because my group at the time weren't into foraging for worms, or cared about rappeling, etc.; they felt the realism slowed down the adventure taking away time for kikn butt and finding treasure. That all changed when WOW was introduced. Sigh. Again, knowing the use of AI in D&D also makes me suspicious of anything promoted now. I can trust MTG team because they advertise how proud they are using artists for their cards. Maybe the laidoff art team employees were canned due to the AI scandal? Maybe Cocks wants to invest in real artists? Lol, oh boy, I know that sounds like a stretch, considering you recommend all D&D going all digital. At that point, I wouldn't care then about the art because I would only purchase whats inside, unless there was a hot lady on the cover. That could persuade me to buy digital D&D. Anyways, I purchased what I liked too, but cover art certainly persuaded me make some bad choices, I am sure. Today we have media with lots of reviews and opinions in everything so I take a chill-pill before purchasing anything. [/QUOTE]
