The Tabletop Games Thread Appreciates the Art (9/25/24)

Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

Discussion prompt: While the 2024 D&D rules update has been controversial to say the least, one thing most people seem to agree on is that the artwork featured in the Player’s Handbook is really good. In a similar vein, I know that there are some people who are into games like Magic the Gathering more for the card artwork than for the game itself. How much does artwork affect your experience with a tabletop game, and does that change depending on the type of game (ie, a TTRPG, CCG, or board game) or genre (ie, fantasy adventure, sci-fi, noir mystery, etc)?
