Comment on “Proposals for at Least Three Years”

What is it exactly people feel they are getting out of an abundance of images in a splat book? I feel that obsession with the visual is similar to how the most successful social network material is images with a bit of easy text on them. Or why big whizbang spectacle movies with zero substance can continue to draw crowds.

There's nothing wrong with appreciating Visual art, of course. But it is a very limited medium for conveying any kind of Game world information. Anything visual which does convey such information, would probably more properly be called data visualization. Maps, for instance. Or a well arranged table.
