What's with the big books?

[jester47]

Has anyone else noticed that there are some sizable d20 products out there? Some of these are getting ludicrous. Namely Oathbound and Book of the Righteous. Oathbound has more pages, but BotR has a bigger bond so it seems bigger. But there things are HUGE! Does WotC not share who the binder is? Why is FRCS thinner than both of these with the same number of pages? Cost cutting?

If a book is really big and really specialised it is a sure bet that I probably am not going to buy it. Even if it has somthing useful. I think d20 is getting to the point where you really have to mine for stuff. Anyways, I am running out of room, so publishers, lets make 1 inch the gentlemans agreement on thickness form here out, OK?

Thicker books are better books. I perfer the thick tomes to the little pamphlets. I have no trouble finding things in well organized books. And books are becoming better and better organized. It's great.

Admittedly I was amazed at the thickness, but then I just shrugged and skimmed the books. I enjoyed them, that's what matters!

i think content is more important then physical size. After all if you run out of room you can just get a bigger house right?

 

[Nightfall]

That's my thought Osis.

Do you mean that you won't buy it because you don't have room to shelve it, or because you just don't like thick books?

Personally, I'm more interested in the usefulness of the content than the thickness of the book. And you know they say size doesn't matter.

 

[Crothian]

For the most part, though it seems the big books are the quality books. I'm more inclined to take a chanvce at a good looking big book then a smaller one.

Heck, the bigger the better!

Heck, the bigger the better!

But I was told that size didn't matter




(sorry, couldn't help myself, had to say it - we now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion).

GR decided to make the BotR usable as a melee weapon, 1d4$ crit 20/x2, Bludgeoning.
