Back when I answered this in 2014, I called out “Hot War” which is sadly no longer available easily. I do think that the bar for cool has moved a long way over the last ten years. The expectations for artwork and layout have raised hugely. The artpunk movement appeared, unfortunately sometimes delivering style-over-substance.
The most recent gorgeous book which is well written for me and delivers on sharing information well, is the DIE RPG from Rowan Rook & Decard. Coming from a comic book original, it also has fantastic layout that makes great use of white space. Absolutely fantastically done.

| Games Omnivorous - the Hexcrawl Toolbox |
However, the most consistent superb producer of cool products for me at the moment is Games Omnivorous. They’ve produced a range of books and products which have the highest quality standards, and a lovely feel. They’re also really good at the table. This includes Mausrítter, The Bottled Sea, Vaults of Vaarn, The Undying Sands and the recent Hexcrawl Toolbox.
