And I HATE Dragonlance.I thought Exalted looked TOTALLY cool.I think the REAL answer to the question is: "People don't like books with crappy art." So if you're talking CRAPPY anime art, then, well, no. Not such a good idea. If you're talking KICK-BUTT, Holy Toledo, "I Can't Believe It's Not Brom!" anime art, then cool. Go for it.And I definitely find art an important part of an RPG book. I see crappy art and I think, "Feh, they couldn't even be bothered to find some good art? I don't think I can be bothered to read this." Which maybe leaves me out of some really great material but you know what? I don't think it does.It did hook me into Exalted, and the Iron Kingdoms, and Call of Cthulhu. It kept me out of Dragonlance (can anybody draw kender so they don't look completely stupid?) and is the primary reason I avoided Robert Jordan for so long (is that not the dumbest map you've EVER seen?). I have found that filtering by art actually works pretty well for me. I don't buy something JUST because it's got good art, and I don't reject things just because they've got crappy art. But I'll pick up a book with great art and look it over, see if I like it. And a book with crappy art will have to be getting some pretty awesome reviews before I'll take a look at it.</blockquote>
