Good pod, as always. I listen every week. I'm curious about something PJ said re: the the art being more 'cutesy' now. Why do you think that is? WotC must do market research and all that sort of thing. Why is that sort of softer art more desirable in D&D books? How do they decide what to use? Any ideas?
