[QUOTE="rounser, post: 3693082, member: 1106"] Maybe the caption should be, "Lidda finds an exploding cuttlefish which makes her look like Halle Berry." I think a good deal of this thread can be summed up by saying that the Paizo Dungeon magazine iconics are much more appealing than the WOTC iconics because they're [b]always[/b] shown in a solid D&D context, doing stuff, not just solo, posing for a portrait, oriented towards the camera. I think the height of irksome for me in this respect is the PHB II Gimble the Herald, where he's apparently yelling right at the reader. It breaks the 4th wall for me. If the Paizo Dungeon iconics found an exploding cuttlefish, there would be more than one of them in the picture, for instance. And they'd be in peril, or overcoming some challenge, or falling off of something. And there'd be a gorgeous or evocative background, to set the scene. [/QUOTE]
