I love the English term "Throwing the book at them".

If a player, in a #TTRPG gets uppity, you throw the (rule)book at them.

Unluckily the D&D rulebook does at most D4 damage. Much too lightweight.

The German #Midgard #RPG rules are significantly more massive (the core rules are well above a 1.000 pages). But for affordability they have split them up into multiple books.

But I wanted a "Grimoire" version of the rule book as a present. So I went to the local bookbinder and bound them into a single opus:

@masek marvelous :O how expensive was the binding and how long took it?
@shimst3r 3 weeks discussing on how to do it. 2 weeks till the first one was ready. A bit more than 700€ per book.
