Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaptain_Kantrip" data-source="post: 209842" data-attributes="member: 546">Canting Crew was too expensive for the page count, with too much space devoted to the cant dictionary. Sure there was some good info in there, but not $35 worth! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> I really wanted to like this book and support Gary, but $35 is $35, after all, and if the book doesn't deliver, I don't buy it, no matter who wrote it. The book seemed kind of weird in the way it presented information, like some 1e era stream of consciousness style... I found it hard to read and harder to find crunchy bits in. TBH, I really haven't liked any of Troll Lord's products so far. I haven't bought any because I think they are *very poor* in their presentation, inside and out (like the cartoonish Fantastic World cover art or the crammed together tiny type size of Codex of Erde--another problem I have is their naming conventions.... Erde rhymes with turd, Yakhund and other silly sounding names or looking creatures drive me nuts, plus their company logo looks really dumb). While Canting Crew is their best cover to date (along with the Lost City of Gaxmoor), the interior design still leaves much to be desired. TLG products just sit and gather dust at my local games store (with the exception of Lost City and Codex, though sales are still in the 2-4 copies range after months in release).Sorry, TLG, but I think you need to try harder and also rethink putting out a $35 HC that is basically a $20 splatbook (certainly CC is by the flimsy page count alone). Not trying to be a jerk here, just offering my unvarnished opinions on your product line.</blockquote>
