This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I agree that 60 dollars is a lot. But the game is 338 pages seems like a full sized book to me. However the 60 dollars pays for not just the pdf but also the full color hardcover.
Playing: Nothing sadly
Running: Tales of Gor, FKR Star Wars, Vampire 4th edition

"Full color" is a bit off.  I have the special edition hardback and it is just sepia tone old timey appearance worth of color.  I'm sure that it is the same price if you have full four color art pieces or parchment tone pages, but people shouldn't be expecting four color art pieces.

However, considering how many of his core rule books are available for free I'm willing to cut him some slack on this one and I'll still back Worlds Without Number as much as I can.

The game is totally worth $60. It has easily a year or more of weekly full-length sessions of content in it. That being said, the price probably has more to do with the niche market. WoG was never going to sell a lot and appeals to a really small slice of people. Hell, "Dark Ages England" as the setting is enough to scare most of my friends away from the game.

Mine doesn't, unless I'm missing a panel somewhere.  It is hardback with a gold embossed pseudo leather cover and faux parchment tone pages, but flipping back and forth through it doesn't show any color other than old timey brown.

If you're telling the truth, you should contact Sine Nomine because it sounds like a printing error. Flipping through my copy, every piece of art is colored, and I can see a number of different colors in the text. Tables use different colors, for example, and the big letters that open up the text on a page feature white and gold. If you really don't see anything other than brown, then somebody messed up.

Check out Update 15 on the Kickstarter. Does your copy have the colored interior art and map like the ones shown there?

Yikes, I appreciate the heads up!  I thought it was just an exercise in making it look like a tome I stead of a modern game book.

I'll check when I get home to be sure.

Would you mind giving me  a couple of page numbers to validate?

Sure. Look at the inside cover. On the right-hand side, it should look like the image here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/308470/Wolves-of-God-Adventures-in-Dark-Ages-England. Minus the title, I believe. You can see this in the Kickstarter update I mentioned in my last post. The left-hand side (the inside of the front cover) is similar. As for some art:

Pg. 9: Man holding out a shield to a boy. Lots of purples and greens, and you can see a whitish glint of light on the rim of the shield.

Pg. 15: Woman sitting in front of some cattle. The perspective makes her look like a giant, and she's holding a rock and a knife. Lots of whites and blues used in the mountains and sky behind her.

Pg. 31: Man sitting by a roaring fire, holding a cross and reading a book.

I am clearly having some sort of Berenstain/stein moment.  Thanks for clearing the fog.  Everything is normal, stand down from four color alert.
