An Avalanche of Books Descends On Me


Recommended Posts

My copy of BR:UGE arrived today, simultaneously with three other books from all over the world. Booty! Masses of booty! Of course this means there will be no more little presents from Past Me in the mail for a while, but still. BOOTY!

I've read many comments on the supposed illegibility of the text in the new edition of Basic Roleplaying, but frankly I'm not seeing it. Admittedly I need my reading glasses to read it, but then I need them these days to read anything much under 72pt. The printing is crisp and clean, and the paper stock is beautifully luxurious and matte. I love it.

RPG books are getting pretty massive in these modern times — that Lyonesse volume is fully 40mm thick, and the others aren't very much more svelte.

Nice! How would you rate them as best production value (look and best) from best to worst?

So that is what the Mythic Babylon book is supposed to look like.  I bought a copy right after it was released and its cover is apparently botched (broad white bar across the top where the cover image was not correctly aligned).  Glad to see subsequent prints are in better shape.
