The converse, in terms of starting needs and priorities, is that with the Discworld RPG we knew that Pratchett's text and worldbuilding (and Master's development of them) were the key. So there, we used every trick we could to squeeze as much wordcount into the book as possible, and then approached art, layout, etc., with the goal of keeping the price reasonable. Hence the B&W internal art.

I appreciate that. I just picked up my copy of Mars Attacks today and can see the coffee table bit. While light on the new crunch its a pleasure to look at and flip through.
I was pleasantly surprised but my FLGS had one copy of both books on it shelves. So they did more than just cover the preorders.
