[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9834425, member: 4534"] [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="114px" size="307x437"]426734[/ATTACH]Gaze into the abyss! I certainly can't argue I'm not influenced by the art in an RPG book, though I'm not sure to what extent. I can identify games whose art kept me away entirely. A lot of the Avalanche Press d20 setting books were supposed to be very good, but the covers looked like poster art for those late night movies they used to show on Cinemax, so I stayed away. One of my favorite bad covers was [I]Exalted: Savant & Sorcerer[/I] affectionally dubbed the camel toe cover by many. Though I have to admit the rules kept me way from Exalted more than any art did. [ATTACH type="full" align="right" width="108px" size="492x596"]426736[/ATTACH] Though perhaps the art that kept me away from a game I should have been champing at the bit to play was Cyberpunk 3rd edition. By most accounts, it's not a very good game, but when I saw the art, it was so ridiculous I decided right then the game wasn't for me. You thought the halfing looked bad? Gaze upon this and weep for humanity! I suspect good art is something that mostly just affects me on a subconscious level. I don't always notice it unless it's really good or it's really bad.
