Roleplaying Games with Rulebooks with great Artwork?

Queen's Blade. It's pretty expensive to get a few of the books, but it's fun to play.

Ah, yes, true. Forgot about that, thanks.

You're very welcome. There's also a computer app someone made to play it with an AI as an alternative to buying the books and playing with someone else, but I forget where to get it.

Really? I will have to look into that.

Spoiler: Warhammer 40,000. Best Artwork EVER!

Can't argue with that...

Exalted 2nd Edition has fairly bitchin' art.

Abit confused mate, Exalted as in Warhammer, Pathfinder or D&D? I'm not that much of an expert, so I'm confused.

On the same note as pathfinder, the D&D monster manuals had awesome images, most of which you can see online at their website.

This, and also, a lot of the 2nd edition player's manuals and DM guides, not to mention the Spell Tomes and specialized campaign books, have a smattering of sometimes brilliant illustration plates throughout.

Can't comment on any higher edition books, as I have not seen them.

Exalted is a totally separate game. It's about as over-the-top as one can get with table-top games.

Here is some sample art from the core book.

Hmm...Call of Cthulhu 6th edition has some sweet drawings that fit the period

Holy Anchovies! That is over-the-top indeed! MUST HAVE!

Wait, CoC has a game with rulebooks? I didn't know that! *Goes off to scour for more info*

Why haven't I seen anyone mentioning the books of the World of Darkness yet? They are fun to read and have nice artwork as well.

The GURPS 4e books have some pretty cool and diverse artwork.

World of Darkness? I never heard about that and google is bringing me only pictures of...vampires or such...drawn in anime...I'm lost.

Holy Mother of all that is Holy! A Robotic Dragon with fire is being rode by a Robot with a Bionic commando arm...I MUST be in heaven!

It is difficult to find I see. World of darkness is a (tabletop)RPG setting where you play a vampire, werewolf, mage etc. depending on the setting/rules and books you apply. It hasn't got anything to do with anime though. Still looking for a nice pic. This one for example:

But you've got to like the style I guess.
