Battlezoo books: Over 1300 Backers, 200K.
Righteous Vow 3: Near 400 Backers, and just over the $23K for the sewn bindings!

Problem?

I want both sets of 3 books.

This is honestly one of the reasons I homebrew so much and prefer super-light systems. There’s so much great stuff I’ll never be able to afford much less get even more than a tiny fraction of to the table.

When the options are $60 each for stacks and stacks of fancy-ass hardbacks or ten minutes and some scribbled notes, I’ll take the scribbled notes every time.

True @overgeeked ! However this is what the books are doing to me.

I'm slowly moving toward a standard dungeon room page layout that I'm happy enought with to stop messing it about every time I do a new adventure.

I agree completely, and for me this is why my RPG book purchases aren't really primarily about what I'll use but rather what I think is awesome (and might use, maybe). I get all kinds of ideas for my own scribbled notes when I read great books.

This is a really good template.

I'll freely admit that its a hack of Johann Nohr's layout from Into the Odd and Mork Borg. I liked it too much not to use it.

A version of it also appears in Monte Cook Games works. It's a good system!

Good design is good design. It's worth punking. The devil is always in the details anyway.

It's good. I like short, evocative descriptions. I hate long descriptions with a charging monster tucked in at the end, almost as an afterthought.
Found a typo. You have is instead of if in the scorpion burrow tracks description.

That exameplar is raw. No editing, no proofing. I'm surprised it didn't blow up and take off my leg, frankly.
