When I was active in M:tG I could not stand any of the magazines dedicated to it. They had style. But you couldn't read them. Pages with white text on black and deep purple backgrounds; images smeared across the text on the page. You were supposed to like the look of the magazine, not read it. (Wired magazine was one of the first mainstream magazine to be like this.)I admit. I like good artwork in an RPG book. I don't like artwork that has nothing to do with topic at hand or that takes up whole pages. In PDFs I hate the frilly borders. They devour ink when you print the PDF. Frilly borders are only somewhat annoying in printed books. Although I would prefer that chapters in printed books be discernable at a glance at the side of closed book's pages like the staggers letters in a dictionary or encyclopedia are visible. That way I could use my eyes to jump straight to chapter 6 based on where my thumb ends up on the book.Slipping back into author mode, the best part of any review of my stuff is what the reviewer liked, what caught his fancy, what made him say, "I will work this into my game no matter what." So, hopefully reviews don't go completely to the summary side.Joe</blockquote>
