Think about it, beyond the cover (which we think of as the greeter, that which makes a person pick up the book more often than not) and the blurb on the back, most people will only have time to flip through a book and look at the interior art. Occassionaly, the buyer (hopefully) will take a moment and read a paragraph or two, but it doesn't take long to glance and appreciate (or be turned off by) the interior pieces. "What actually attracts me the most to a book is its title.  To me, there is already so much art out there that the shelf of d20 stuff is a big colorful blur, and my eyes glance over the art completely and i only pick up the names.I also, could care less about art quality (having grown up on early 1st Ed. DnD <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ) but in that matter i know im in the minority.A good title gets me much more than good art.(these are just my opinions again <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )examples of good titles:Requim for a God... has style and panache!Encyclopaedia Arcane series... like the british spellingWhat's that Smell? ... gotta be the best title for a module ever <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />examples of bad titles (again just to me):four color to fantasy... honestly i have no idea what that title has to do with superheroes, but im out of the comic superhero circlesscarred lands... its just me but every time i read it i see "scared lands"  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> anyway enough of my rant.  and for the record i never pick up a book with bikini babes on the cover.  I like my women warriors covered in just as much armor as the men.  again, tho im the minority.thanks for listening,joe b.</blockquote>
