The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1

[tg_ambro]

Put me in the "No Munchkin art" bandwagon, not because I dislike Kovalic's art style, but because I enjoy the simple comic-booky black and white ones much more. If they came with Munchkin art, I'd still buy whatever DF products came out, the art in RPGs doesn't isn't anywhere near as important as well written rules and clever presentation, which DF has loads of.

But such is life...

I can't agree with this, or the more general "DnD is serious business" argument. Even though no one pointed out to me how silly an evil black skinned elf who had a thing for spiders and lived in hell (that came in two flavors, one very christian, the other infinite) riding a giant metal spider golem with a palace on it's back, in an entire plane made out of web was, I still thought it was extremely silly. Much like the rest of the genre. If you ask me, DF is far less silly, it points out the the Shadow Elves do not worship a scantily clad spider-woman. ;-)

In all seriousness, if you want a less silly DF game, ignore the silly parts (Elven dye jobs, Leprechauns, references to real world actor/ninjs) dig out your old copy of the FRCS (not the fourth ed. One, it sucks) and use that setting and its fluff and feel. That's what I did, untill I embraced the more fun aspect of DF.
