Yeah, I know; what a way to start a blog! I've just been holding this in for 27 years!
I *HATE* a lot of the artwork in Zebulon's Guide to Frontier Space! I don't mean to be rude to the person who designed much of the
weapons and equipment in that book, but I can do better with a set of Legos! We went from the beautiful lines of the Alpha Dawn weapons
, to blocky, un-ergonomic things that don't look even usable!
Zebulon's was badly executed and had its problems, but a lot of it was actually useful; the weapons and defenses were well-designed and balanced... but due to the art, nobody wanted anything to do with them.
I know I'm not the only one and would love to hear other's opinions on the matter.
