[QUOTE="uv23, post: 547619, member: 678"] Somewhat of a tangent here. I was at the gaming store today - a rather large one - and spent an hour flipping through basically every d20 product available. And there was one commonilty among all of them: the art sucked. Nasty, terrible, lame stuff. Art is important, extremely. As the original poster stated, it evokes inspiration and provides the context for what you're reading. Especially in something like a monster book where you'd like to show your players what they're up against without making them spit out their coke and pizza through their noses when they guffaw at the supposedly scary beasties. Unfortunately, there's too big a drive to realase something.. anything.. into this market without assigning the proper budget on presentation. It makes the whole community look bad, compared to products from gaming houses such as Games Workshop. Anyways enough rambling from me. But you've hit on my biggest pet peeve in this market. Oh and for the record, I left buying nothing where I might have otherwise spent a good deal of coin. [/QUOTE]
