Hey all, are there any products out there that don't have artwork, just text and basic layout? Is there any interest in products that don't have artwork?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm almost finished an adventure I've been working on for the Zweihander Community Library. Writing and getting the GF to do some basic editing and proofing took about 2 months. Then I wanted a map, so I got Campaign Cartographer and had to learn that, that took a few months. Then I wanted a battle map and had to learn more Campaign Cartographer, another few months. Then I downloaded the adventure template, and even though I use MS Word every day, I had to spend quite a bit of time learning stuff I didn't know. Finally, I wanted my own logo for the cover, so I had to learn some GIMP. Its a very steep learning curve and I just about got what I wanted. All in all its taken a year and I'm exhausted!
So yeah, do we really need art for certain products?
