These are my favorite pages in any of the Börg books I have. I GM non-D&D systems so rarely that being able to just reference almost anything in one place and move on without much of a fuss and bogging the game down.

This project is looking great! Really glad I found this ‘stack. 😀

Thank you again, Ben, for another delve into your design & insights to this amazing project.

I love that you have been able to condense your important game rules to a double page spread! I honestly feel this is accommodating for TTRPG’ers of all experience levels & am so happy that it will be present for BP&B.

My fondness for this project grows all the more knowing it is equally an art book, as well as a game manual. My most favourite TTRPG books have always been those in my collection that have seamlessly merged lore, art & rules to make the read compelling & entertaining, while also planting seeds in my imagination to have it run wild with story ideas.

The only times I have ever found TTRPG books that painful slog of a read was when I turned to the rules chapters & found walls & walls of text. I love a good read as much as the next person, but unfortunately if the layout & presentation is like a text book or a very dated encyclopaedia, then I can sometimes be overwhelmed & find it much harder to commit rules to memory.

Thankfully I’ve found this so rare of late, & many modern TTRPG books absolute pleasures to read.

If you have a favourite TTRPG book, may I ask what it is? I would be delighted to know!

Thanks for the kind words man!

Yeah the walls of text can be a real slog sometomes. My personal favorite is Cy_Borg as its a hell of a lo easier to read and reference. whereas Mork Borg has a few growing pains where you haveto flick back and forth to referenence and make a character. however both of them are equal in terms of art direction.
