[QUOTE="MoutonRustique, post: 6463142, member: 22362"] In absolutely no way, shape or form. I can only attest to my reaction - and it was one of feeling insulted. Perhaps it was [I]in regards to the artists[/I], might be... I'm not sure. I just recognized the feeling as what it was. Intellectually, I am angered that major contributors to the [I]oeuvre[/I] of the books (at least in great part in the case of the Monster Manual) are not given what I feel to be proper reward/acknowledgement for their contributions. Take out the art and the cool typesetting and funky page effects and I'd be ready to wager a very great deal that the reception would not have been as it was. The art (in the broad sense : not just the monster depictions) is an integral part of the books; I feel its creators should have been granted more of a thank you. You will have gathered that this is a very emotional response. I do not expect others to share it, nor do I consider those who do not to be "lacking" something. In this instance, it is very much a case of : [I]it is what it is[/I]. But it did (and still does) bother me. ... A lot. [/QUOTE]
