I just got my copy of the lone wolf RPG. I feel a bit of a mixed blessing. While i'm thrilled that there is anyting Lone Wolf thats new being released, i was a bit disappointed by the artwork in the book.
Most of it was of the quality of TSR back in 90's. Most of the art was pen and ink, but poorly done. Many of the pics are not of iconic characters or interesting places but just a haphazard group of pics that have nothing to do with most of the material.
Why couldn't Mongoose get Brian Williams from the game books? Or joe dever? Or heck, go to wizards of the coasts' website and go to their art forum board. You could find a dozen 18 yr. old artists that could have done a ton better at a quarter of the price that mongoose probably paid.
While i love lone wolf, the art in the RPG book leaves a little to be desired. However, the map was excellent.
Any other people out there agree with me?

I don't think I would be quite as harsh in my criticism of the artwork - I didn't think it was too bad, and I've certainly seen worse in RPG books. Still, Mongoose's OGL Ancients was nicer-looking, in my opinion.
Having said this, I must say that I was deeply disappointed that the LW RPG doesn't feature any artwork by Gary Chalk. Gary's artwork is one of the most definitive features of the Lone Wolf books, in my opinion, and without his art, it just doesn't feel right...
