In the setting? No. In an RPG rulebook, certainly, yes. The fact that it's a picture of naked boobies doesn't bother me. But it does bother me when the art, whatever the content, distracts the reader from the text.

all B&W - thumbs down unnecessarily gratuitous art on every page - thumbs down I didn't mind the art layout in the 1ed but the new style is just over the top. I'm not a conservative person by any means but I just don't need that in an RPG rulebook. These two issues will certainly keep me from...

If the 2ed book is good, I will get it. Simple as that.

By the way, there is a new Developer's Diary on GameSpot. Worth checking out. It's looking really good.

It's actually not so your loss I guess.

Have you guys been playing it? Thoughts so far? I've been following the development somewhat but I didn't sign up for the beta (been playing DDO). I'm intrigued by what I've seen so far but it sounds very PvP-heavy, which I'm so-so on. I'd be willing to give it a try possibly, and I think a...

I've been following the Age of Conan development a bit. It just got delayed until later this year I believe. My take is that it looks like a pretty hardcore MMO. Very PvP-focused and guild-heavy.

Isn't it in Scrolls of Skelos?

No, that's the diameter of the outer ring.

With some quick math, this comes out to a diameter of about 450-500 ft (the actual calc is 477).

Ok, another map question... I'm just wondering what people used for the overall dimension (diameter) of the tower? I looked through the whole module and once again could not find anything resembling a map scale. Very annoying.

Yeah, I think I'm definitely going to redraw them too, at least for my own sanity. In the Temple of Jullah, I think I'm going to swap the last two rooms. Make the smaller one the forechamber and the big one the ritual chamber. Looks like a cooler layout for a big final battle. Maybe I'll...

I have three modules: Tales of the Black Kingdoms, Tower of the Elephant, and Heretics of Tarantia. In all the interior maps, there isn't a distance scale on any of them. What gives? I mean I can guess but is it really that difficult to include a scale? It's bad enough they aren't done on a...

Fixed it for you: I don't game without miniatures and I can't imagine how they would get in the way of "imagination". I guess if your players are so hung up on the miniatures themselves but I've never been in a game where the minis took away from the actual game itself.

Not really the point but I suppose if someone wants a slight boost with Weapon Focus at lower levels or something. The book says "he immediately and permanently loses this feat". That leads me to believe he now has an open feat slot. I can't think of any mechanic in any other d20 system where...
