Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
I don't know how well that would work. The Munchkin art is in a completely different style from most GURPS art. I wouldn't say it's of a higher quality than the GURPS art, either.

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
We could be talking about a Munchkin Monster Manual...

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
There is one already, IIRC. I think I have it!

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
Too bad it's 3.5 and not GURPS... but if the art could be reused that could be a win-win.

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
The saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is analogous to "silliness is in the mind of the interpreter".
Isn't better to let different people to think and play in different ways, putting "official" value judgments aside? Quote:
If we were to have Munckhin-style art in any Dungeon Fantasy release, I'd prefer absolutely no art, too.

I will admit that I would not buy a DF product if it had Munchkin art. I would want no art in that case. Last edited by b-dog; 09-04-2010 at 03:46 PM. |

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
I'm not much for Dungeon Fantasy, but, if you're just looking for pics for monsters there's scads to be found or made. I did a cursory scan of my creatures directory for DAZ|Studio, and made these in about 5 minutes:
Angels Mantaraptor Zubarra, whatever that means. I, for one, am fine with a book not having any art other than example art. However, I'm also happy to go through a book and look at all the pretty pictures (when I'm feeling simple, which is fairly often). |

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
For what it's worth, I'd prefer new art to recycled Munchkin art, for the most part. But I'd be very happy seeing my monsters done up by John Kovalic!

Re: The art of Dungeon Fantasy 13: Monsters 1
Then we disagree here. I like Kovalic art for Munchkin, Dork Tower and Chez games, but I really hope that we don't get it for Dungeon Fantasy. Now, hope is all I can do, since I'm just a custommer, and I will not say I won't buy new DF items because they have Kovalic illustrations, because it would serve no real purpose, and it would also be false, but I would really prefer no art to Kovalic art in this case. Personally, I would really like some Alex Fernandez art for DF ;)
