Message: <blockquote data-quote="Turjan" data-source="post: 1864018" data-attributes="member: 3477">I've rarely seen such a thin-skinned answer from any company representative over here. I would understand such a reaction from one of the authors or from the artist himself (he would be a bad artist if he were not emotional about his work <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />), but this whole post does not really look very understanding. Quite the opposite, it's quite derogatory towards the critics. This thread bears the title "No love for Oathbound?". The posters gave an answer as to why. I like descriptive art to be clearly recognizable, and I like maps to be functional. The Oathbound campaign setting had quite a lot of pieces of beautiful art; but there, where it really matters (race depictions, maps), I think it was a failure. You may have a different opinion in this regard.  The conclusion that I probably like "Sesame Street-style pop-up" art and 50 pt print instead comes over as quite insulting and not at all self-confident.A short look at my bookshelf shows me that you forgot at least Airships and Faeries in the ranks of colour books, two very beautiful publications with lots of cool ideas. The Complete Minions is one of my favourite creature books, and I actually like the b/w printout without borders the best (better than the original colour art <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />).As far as Oathbound is concerned, there's not much to be done with the main Campaign Setting book as it is now. It is nice that you try a different path regarding the design of the future books, because the setting deserves it. Good luck on your way <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
