Well, BC, I guess were a minority of at least 2. I'm a huge comics fan (although I no longer buy the "stuff" that's coming out now, I did collect and read for 15 years) and comics are, first and foremost, a visual medium. If you take away the pics, you have an incomplete novel. In Champions I'm simulating a comic book story. Therefore, I want pics. I want to be able to show the players what the characters, locations, vehicles look like. I use maps and minis as well. If we had holo-technology, I'd use that too. I want to "see" the game. That goes for my gamebooks as well. "Show it too me."
