Describing an NPC in detail is nice, being able to show a picture of said NPC is better.After a year of publishing, I have found that good art is a NECESSITY in a PDF product. Not a LOT of art, but some well-chosen and well-placed art. It breaks up the text making the product easier to read. It helps illustrate what is being said. Some users complain about the art, wishing there were less, but overall a well-illustrated product is better received by the reviewers and the public - if anything, selling a product with both versions (screen and print) SIGNIFICANTLY increases your product ratings in reviews - the reviewers tend to mention this as a positive aspect, that you can view it in a very pretty and professional format on-screen AND you can print it out without eating up your entire ink supply.And I have seen some pretty scathing reviews of products without art. A fantastic product without art will not be hurt by the lack of art. But a good product without art will lose marks, and a mediocre product without art drops to the bottom of the barrel. The VAST majority of private responses I have received to our own products have alwasy been favourable to the inclusion of the artwork in question.</blockquote>
