SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I love Ars Magica 5th, Shadowrun 4th, and the recently released Hellas.


I admit though sometimes I want to open a book that's functional, and I won't mind thumbing through it--because some of that pretty art gets thumbprints, and makes the book well less out and out functional. (I.e the book is alright to use and let my less anal retentive about books players look at it, without me having a conniption.) Mongoose's Traveller is one such book.

If one were not going by "pure beauty of design" like I said in my earlier post, and were instead talking about art that instantly evokes the setting/themes of the game, I would say RIFTS. Their art has always been a very strong element.

earthdawn, fading suns, and dark heresy. all of them feature really evocative art that shows you the reader/player what the setting is about and the kinds of characters that live in that setting.

I like Nobilis. Mutants and Masterminds.
