[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8142974, member: 6785785"] I think there are pros and cons to both approaches. For instance, Blades in the Dark is a pretty big book at 300 or so pages. But it's well written and laid out, and has both the rules and a complete setting in one book. It's also a complete game in that one book; you don't need to buy any more books to enjoy this game. By contrast, Mothership is also a great game. The main rule book is under 50 pages, and contains all the rules you need to play. The PDF is also pay what you want, so that's pretty awesome, too. It has no setting information at all. I have two modules for the game, each at around 60 pages. One describes a space station that is designed to be a kind of "home base" for the PCs, and it's jam packed with content. The other is essentially a large dungeoncrawl, with evocative rules and antagonists and dangers for the PCs to deal with. Again, these books are just packed with detail and suggestions and prompts.
