I've seen worse (Original Storyteller's Guide for the Sabbat, courtesy
WW. Or was it the player's guide?). The artwork didn't really bother me,
as I knew that Hexarcana was designed to be a scrap-book of mostly
reprinted material, so I wasn't really expecting original artwork.

What really bothered me about Hexarcana was that the borders and
background artwork on the chapter headers weren't faded out like they
should be, and where the text merged with the background artwork it
became rather hard to read, especially that "falling leaf" thing. I can
understand the desire to notch up the impact of presentation, but you
shouldn't have to sacrifice readability.
