RPGs with the Best ART

[Erratic K]

The original Dark Matter Source book for Alternity. Alternity in general had artwork that was very hit and miss (and mostly miss to me). But the Dark Matter Book was brilliant. the art and faux peices were right on for the mood and the game.

1st edition AD&D.

Rifts is possibly the best.


Then I can't think of anything has ONLY good+ artwork within it.

 

[Xyanthon]

Artesia: Adventures in the Known World has some fantastic work.

 

[Wil]

Tribe 8, Jovian Chronicles, and Heavy Gear - all from Dream Pod 9. Ghislain Barbe, who did much of the art for all three, is fantastic

 

[Soel]

Anima - if it ever comes out stateside. One of the artists - http://wen-m.deviantart.com/gallery/

 

[DMH]

Mechanical Dream.

 

[Grimstaff]

Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert Rulebooks.

Those books really gave gave D&D its own unique look, almost completely non-derivative of other fantasy sources, unlike most RPG books today, which seem to favor a mixture of Anime and Warhammer flavors.

I also loved the cartography from the old ICE MERP games. Those maps were beautiful and really brought the setting to life!

Iron Kingdoms.

I'm a big fan of the art in Green Ronin's Thieves World, Black Company and Freeport settings, but all their art is usually top notch.
