[QUOTE="Fifth Element, post: 3689812, member: 48135"] I prefer to set the theme, tone and spirit of my games myself (in concert with the other players), rather than basing it on some illustrations in the books. That being said, 3E art is technically the best art D&D has ever had (I mean in the sense of the proficiency of the artists in general). That being said, I do have some nostalgic feelings for 1E art as well. Overall, I like the art in all the editions, but 3E is the best. Some stuff I don't enjoy too much, but overall it's the best. I think Nifft summed it up well. If you're pining for a return to the "spirit" of old D&D (or another equally vague and subjective term), you're most likely just yearning for a return to your youth. It's called nostalgia, which I think is great in general. It is not, however, the best basis to design a new edition of the world's most popular RPG. [/QUOTE]
