The Birthright Conspectus (1995) is the best looking of the bunch. The design is clean and easy to read. The poster map is just a poster map and the spot illustrations of monsters look like they belong there, or at least hint at something about the setting (and are cool). A two-page spread gives a sales pitch for the line that is concise and intriguing (which, as someone who has always been ambivalent about Birthright, is an accomplishment in itself). The half poster section is dedicated to fleshing out the cultures of the world a bit. The only fumble is the product tree, which is has so many products on it that they are pictures so small I can not tell them apart.

I mean, sure, it is still an advertisement, but it doesn’t make me want to stab my eyes out.
