I came to realize just how much back when I used to read the Elfquest comic. When they reprinted all the B&W in color the art lost a lot of its impact for me. To me Wendy Pini's illustrations were much more vibrant and alive in B&W inked by her ex-hubby Richard, than when they colorized it. I quit reading that series because of their switch to color. My wife tells me I didn't miss much because she says the story quailty dropped off a lot as well.In terms of it being used in game books, I am paying for game info, not pictures. If you want to sell me pictures do a photo album type book of nothing but art.In game publications I want meaningful wordage aided by pictures and diagrams. Not colorized art to fluff up the sale price.If the publishers of d20 products didn't have the very legitimate excuse of selling to a small market, with an average sales run of 5,000 books, I would be disgusted by how overpriced your products are. However, I understand that smaller print runs mean higher costs, thus smaller profits, even with the higher price tags. So I accept it as a necessary price to pay for something I love to do to be supported.</blockquote>
