Great and evocative art (and art design) can really help sell a game or setting while bad or simply questionable art can be a real turn off. I may be raked over the coals for saying this, but the art quality of Level Up is one of the reasons why I'm kind of ambivalent about having purchased it. The mechanical stuff is interesting, but the art is, and I apologize to the artists who worked on it, not that great I know good art takes a lot of time and is a very expensive part of the process, but I think it's worth the investment. Take the somewhat recent <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1176616619/book-of-creatures-200-npcs-and-monsters-for-5th-edition/description" target="_blank">Creatures </a>book, the mechanical content is fine, mostly reprints of Basic Rules monsters with some good ideas thrown in, but the art really elevates it into something special.</blockquote>
