[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5641857, member: 22779"] I believe he was being rather tongue in cheek. :D But, to be fair, the few times I've seen people refer to their "art" when talking about gaming, it has been rather pretentious and off putting. When I make an adventure, I'm not thinking about creating a work in and of itself. It's more akin to my lesson plans for teaching a class - a series of points which I want to cover in the time alloted. I hope that my classes are fun and productive and I hope that when I DM, it's fun and productive. But, at no point do I consider myself to be creating art.* * Actually, that's not entirely true. I've been lurking at the cartographersguild.org site for a while now and trying (when work isn't beating the crap out of me) to do some cartography. But, that's somewhat tangential to gaming - I'm doing the maps because I like it and I like creating pretty maps (or at least attempting to do so). But, it's like mini-painting, something of a side, related project, not part of gaming itself. [/QUOTE]
