I realized something today, browsing through Amber web pages. I can't take a campaign seriously when the trumps (for amber purposes, pictures of the characters) are photoshopped images of famous actors and actresses.
Maybe this makes me small minded, but I see a pic of Tom Cruise from MI:2, I have a hard time seeing that as an Amber character. It just seems to plastic and cardboard for Amber.
I'd rather see a poorly drawn trump in crayon than another celeb photoshopped to have green hair. Even playing with pictures of people who aren't famous can work; there's no predefined image/personality associated with the subject.
