[Design] Did someone mention marketing?

[Curufea]

Pirated PDFs don't make any appearance in the games I play.
  But that could be because most of the gamers I play with are computer illiterate.

      And yes, if you want an accurate   depiction, the maps should be hastily-drawn... but then, an accurate depiction   would include profanity, and someone boasting about the pdf he'd pirated.   Adverts provide a utopian dream, if not that of the customer then at least   that of the company:D

    Yeah - but they should be appealing to NEW players.      And most new players come from highschool.  But definitely way too good     looking - and disturbingly healthy&fit.

The maps should be hastily     drawn on scraps of paper - not "official products"...
And there are way too     few dice lieing around the place...
