Secure. Contain. Protect.
Fallen Rib
A lot of game designers forget what their book is supposed to actually do, and it makes the game much less convenient/fun for the people running or playing the game.

Things like in-character explanations of rules that are needlessly obtuse and confusing.

Or in a more recent bit, the new Accursed Kickstarter is for a series of setting books. The format will go over a given area, list an important NPC or two, and then list a new monster in that area.

The problem with this is that if you're trying to use the book to run a game, and you've got several monsters in an encounter, you're going to be flipping around the book trying to find the exact monster you're looking for. Add in the fact that they refuse to include an index, and it becomes very difficult to use the book for its actual purpose: Running a game of Accursed.
