[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1064265, member: 158"] I will agree on one thing: In my opinion, I cannot see Arcana Unearthed winning any ENnies for "Best Layout" or "Best Graphic Design" next year. It left much to be desired. The black and white was not the issue: I just did not like a large amount of the art, nor the sparseness of edge designs, etc. However, for a source of new material, I enjoyed it immensely! I will be waiting for other products to give me a sharper visual image pool with this product; while the races, classes, magic system, hero points, etc. give my mind much to chew on, the visual interpretation did not give me the fuel to vividly picture this "brave new world." Hopefully, Diamond Throne will give me what I am looking for in this category. Iron Chef, I can understand that you did not enjoy the new races, and some of the class concepts. It takes me back to D&D in a 90 degree angle from what I am used to in the core books, however, and for that I am grateful. Just the little bit of play at Gencon I did gave me a tremendous desire to explore that world more fully. [/QUOTE]
