Today, Best Hunters came in the mail. I totally forgot that I ordered it a few weeks ago (right when it came out, with the PDF bundle).

I haven’t had time to read it, nor have I been particularly attentive to the development threads on it. I just thought that the concept was cool, and Christian (author) is a buddy, so that was good enough for me: I’ll definitely give it a shot sometime and post some play notes.

Anyway, the point is that this book is gorgeous. Simplistic, yet artistic, and a real sense of layout and placement. I think the last book that struck me this way was Burning Empires.

That Fred Hicks (the layout guy) really knows what he’s doing.

I’m not going to say “buy it!”, cause I don’t give recommendations without playing a game (or at least reading through it enough to know how to play), but I will say that if you DID buy it already or were going to buy it anyway, the book format will not disappoint you.
