Art count in M&T

papercut · Post by **papercut** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 7:54 am

Hey folks,

Greetings from Taiwan. I have a question about the amount of art is the M&T. Does each monster have an illo? I need lots of pics in the C&C game I run with my students (they don't have the same cultural background). Currently I am using the 2e book for pics and stats from an OD&D supplement. That is about 350 pages too many for me to carry around. Plus, there would be less of a headache (although small) of converting numbers. I will prob just spring for the M&T pdf, but I wanted to have an idea before I drop the cash.

<--- Cheapskate... Hey, I have no way of seeing the book over here.

I haven't gone through and done a monster by monster evaluation, but let me put it this way. I do not remember looking up a monster in the M&T and NOT seeing a picture. So I would have to say, going purely on memory, that every monster has a picture.

139 pictures before the treasure section. this is not one picture for every monster, as there are 203 individual monsters (fewer categories, naturally, as dragons are listed together and not all have pictures.)

139 sounds pretty good, Ol'Thorne musta been busy for a few months!

Cheers

That would have been true, had I done it all. But there were a couple other artists on the job too. ^_~`

I just picked up the pdf and the art looks great. The books seems to have a sufficient amount of art even for my needs.

Can't wait to pick it up from the printer- I hate reading pdfs.

Cheers
