With publication becoming a very real possibility, the questions needs to be asked about if art is important to a game like Malls & Morons.
Art: Important or Unimportant?

I voted c./ either way.
To me, it all depends on the art itself. Good stuff can help make a mood / vibe 100x fold. Bad art on the other hand....

Yanno, i bought most of the wotc books cause i find the art there invalluable for tatoo ideas (not that i have any yet).
Art is a big part of the books i buy. So i feel there should be some art every 2 or 3 pages...

I voted 'either way', because art can be either a positive or a negative thing in a book.
To be positive, art should be:
- technically proficient (no surprise there)
- stylistically appropriate (I'd think that M&M would be best served by clean, B&W cartoon-style work, rather than glossy full colour paintings, f'instance)
- relevant to the work as a whole
- relevant to the text it appears with

Good art makes a book better.
Bad art makes a book worse.
No art makes a book boring.

Hmmm...
I believe it can go either way. I personally love to see art, and the creativeness, the way the artist perceives(spelling?) it. But, on the other hand -- it can sometimes be how... well. When you watch a movie after reading a book, alot of times it can be disappointing and your imagination works wonders more than a camera and makeup.

I wouldn't mind art, but I wouldn't mind a lack of art either... as long as it's not a complete lack of art.
By the way, I always liked the photographs that were used to illustrate the original.
