[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9637331, member: 11760"] Page count is largely dictated by signatures -- how many sets of four pages will be bound into the book. The format of this book is set by the number of Monster Manual dragon types -- 10. So if these galleries were eliminated, every adventure would probably get two more pages, rather than us getting an 11th adventure. We'll see if the adventures needed those two extra pages. Oftentimes, I feel like WotC adventures are pretty padded to begin with. Alternately, they could add two more pages of art and maps to each adventure, which could potentially be good, but again, that might end up making the adventures feel sparse or require too much page-flipping. I'm ambivalent on this. Yes, we have Art & Arcana already, but a lot of this won't be in that book, which was more of a survey of art over ~50 years, not a deep dive on any one subject, except for a few key monsters. This doesn't affect my interest in the book, which is pretty strong between the various art styles, the one on one adventures and the revisiting of a Radiant Citadel setting. [/QUOTE]
