They were great, but are boxed sets really legit for this thread's question? They have a lot of advantages over any book. I know a lot of boxed sets are available as pdfs that could be bound as a single volume now, but that still feels like it's not true to the spirit of the OP's ask.Pavis/Big Rubble for RuneQuest also very high on my list.
Well, they are bound into a single volume now, but I think at least one of those boxed sets would qualify as a single product. I'd pick Pavis over Big Rubble for The Cradle scenario.They were great, but are boxed sets really legit for this thread's question? They have a lot of advantages over any book.

That aside, I'm too inconstant to always have the same book at the top of my own list. Strike Force would be there sometimes, but I can see three others on-thread already that would also be first at times, and I can think of several more that haven't shown up yet. And if boxed sets are okay, there's a bunch more that would drift in and out of the top slot.
Yeah, I can see that. It's also maybe more generally useful overall. You can do a lot with Pavis and never actually set foot in Big Rubble. Harder (but not impossible) to say the reverse.I'd pick Pavis over Big Rubble for The Cradle scenario.
