How do I choose the right rulebook?
Choosing the right rulebook depends on several factors such as your preferred game genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.), complexity level, and storytelling style. Consider reading reviews, exploring sample pages, and discussing with fellow players to determine if the rulebook aligns with your gaming preferences and group dynamics.
Can rulebooks for different systems be used together?
