Bestiary Pics?
I just bought the bestiary package which is awesome, but I can't find the pictures of the monsters... Don't tell me I paid $30 for info and no pics...
Or am I doing sth wrong? Cheers |

The artwork in the bestiaries, I believe, are copyright protected so permission would have to be granted from the rightful owner. |
Yes it is. Of course you can always buy the multiple Beastiary books for like $39.95 a pop if you want the art.

LW has the license for the information they enter into HL. The pics are not part of that deal.
Having done some license deals myself, they can get sticky and very specific. But o be honest, I'm not sure what the advantage of having the image would be. It would increase the size of HL files, and the GM woulnd't be able to show the creature very easily. Just showing the page in the book to the players is a better idea. But thats jusy my opinion. |

If they need images, there are many non-copyrighted images of classic monsters that can easily be found using the internet that will match the descriptions. |
As a GM who uses tactical console and Hero lab at the table, I was disappointed with the lack of images. It makes it more challenging to see who was up in a round or who is still alive during combats. The images allow fast reference that the text doesn't. In most of my set encounters I go and put stocks with images into a portfolio for this reference.

If everyone was diehard for portraits in the tactical console, then it could maybe use a smaller image like in the personal tab for user uploaded images. I still think it is fine without it in the console. |

I agree. I use them in my VTT, and since im just putting them in myself, i can go to one of the many free images out there and put them in. Its needed for a VTT, I think its ok with it being missing for the tactical console. The only thing where it could be difficult is if you iddnt know which creature was what. |
It is not a big issue. I was just pointing out that as a GM I do like images in the stock monsters because it makes it visually easier for me, in contrast to those who said it was not useful for anyone. I do not use a VTT so Tactical console is my only tracking tool.
