[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5235873, member: 29398"] You're absolutely right. Problem is, of course, that a non-artistic someone like me trying to bang together a homebrew adventure really only has words at his disposal. :) If I could generate a picture for each room as fast as I can write down a description I'd be all over it. But to put it in perspective, right now I'm having a hard time finding a picture to represent each adventure - never mind each room. There's only so much fantasy art out there, and far too much of it simply depicts people and creatures rather than rooms, scenes and landscapes. That said, there's times when details of the furniture layout are important: if you're looking to pull off a swashbuckling leap on to the table, for example, so you can talk down to the ignoble peasants who dare oppose you and if need be clobber 'em as well, knowing where the table is and what's around it becomes kinda useful. :) Lan-"a simple man, a man of colours"-efan [/QUOTE]
