Re: Best core book printing from the Trolls to date.
I'm pretty happy with the new "Three Sisters" printing. Mostly because it puts C&C on par with any other RPG out there in terms of "professional" look. My "Dream printing" would have the three books all printed on the same paper as the third printing PH, in black and white. with different covers. IE my favorite covers from the entire line of C&C, such as the HH PH cover.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

I like the leather covers.. I like high cotton paper... black and white print with full color images... wait.. this version has not been printed yet.. so once they're totally happy with the three sisters AND its all fixed up and they must reprint one more time, offer a kick start with a prize level for full leather covers, cotton paper and nice color images... those will be THE BEST.
Always looking forward...

Re: Best core book printing from the Trolls to date.
First and foremost with game books, I'm concerned with utility and durability. The 4th edition is the easiest to read. If the paper was a little thicker (like the the Amazing Adventures hardback- feels thicker) it'd be ideal. That being said, I'm no fan of the 4th printing covers. The sea-sick green backgrounds...
The color paper is tough on my eyes and makes reading tougher than it should be. The glossy paper on some of the earlier printings shines too much.

1st or 2nd printing PHB pour moi.
I like the organization of the 2nd printing, but enjoy the larger text of the 1st.
And black and white can't be beat imo -I'm unable to read the red text of the 6th printing.
Also, the covers REALLY do it for me.
Win win.

Re: Best core book printing from the Trolls to date.
I like the 4th Crusade printings (the 4th print PHB, 3rd print M&T, & 1st print CKG), but I'm really starting to like the 3 Sisters set.

5th print PH for me!
[But, I've noticed that at night I can't read it so well when CK'ing - so I think I need to start using the 4th print]
