Lamplight is irredeemably shit but I'll go to bat for the other two - the surivval guide isn't particularly dumb, you just have to accept that Moira is out of her mind. She's meant to be eccentric and off her rocker in-universe, and the book often turns out shit precisely because she doesn't know what she's doing and hired some random dickhead to walk on mines for her. Appropriately, you can immediately tell her she's an idiot and that her book is going to suck the first time you meet her, and convince her not to bother with it at all.In TES you never had anything so stupid as little lamplight, the survival guide or the superheroes.
The Superheroes immediately put people off but I think it's redeemed somewhat by the town's reaction: like with Moira, everyone in-universe thinks the superheroes are retarded, to the point where they just want them gone because they're getting in the way of everyone else. The mayor guy explicitly says that he doesn't really care which one of them you side with, as long as it stops the LARPing that's making the town into a laughing stock and preventing people from going outside.
