The Best TTRPG Books!

[@guilhermegontijo7407]

Thank you for the kind words on Haunted Almanac, JP!

[@MrElliptific]

I find it super awesome that you share games that are absolutely not mainstream but still stand on their own. Thank you.

[@harperthejay]

Ryuutama is one of the most gorgeous roleplaying books ever!

[@signumnox]

Great collection! Some familiar things that I love, and some new things I am eager to check out!

[@Phleanix]

Great video, as always. I'd love if you release an entire video on resources (books) like the Tome of Adventure Design etc. (I own the new, revised edition. :D ) Always on the looking for more useful tools and resources!

[@hovasaxa]

Really dig a lot of these! Backed the most recent Mausritter KS - I’ll have to check out the Thousand Thousand Islands one as well.

Neverland is one of those games on my bucket list. I've been trying to get more physical books like all of the inexpensive printed at cost Basic Fantasy adventures. I love that all of those are free as PDFs too. It helps that my 9 year old son loves running that game. I've been picking up the Rafael Chandler books too, which are like a metal band melted into ink to print the pages. Hehe. Nate's stuff is awesome.

[@RPG_Bliss]

Wow your reviews are amazing!

[@thomasboynton1]

Great list and thanks for sharing! I'd recommend you check out: - Worlds Without Number. This is similar to Tome of Adventure design, but it also has a cool system where you use random tables to get a starting idea, and the take 2 or 3 "tags" in the book which add a twist, mix the tags together to get something new! - Gradient Descent. This is an adventure zine for the Mothership Sci-fi Horror RPG system. Content warning it does have some (thankfully optional) themes that some might not be comfortable with. However, the layout of the information is amazing! They basically manage to fit a whole spaceship mega-dungeon into one zine, with a full map done as a very clever schematic/flowchart diagram on a single spread.

[@Centdot]

I would like to see a video where you make a 1 page ttrpg

[@Belemrys]

Magical Industrial Revolution by Skerples, Worlds Without Number, Old School Essentials, Into the Odd/Bastionland by Chris McDowell, Hot Springs Island, Troika!

[@jaflood0378]

These all look amazing! This video was not good for my wallet. It looks like the Traveler’s Guide to Soddenweald isn’t available right now. 😩 also- the Plumwax Kobold adventure looks incredible! The minis that came with the zine are gorgeous! Thanks for everything you do!

Dungeon Master here, you've helped a lot with showing me some art styles I like to draw for my maps. But I need your help once again. Please Make a video (because NONE exist on youtube) of how to draw a Dwarven city. One of the cities on my map is an underground dwarven stronghold. with like 200-400 dwarves. I just can't get down an art style that is newbie artist friendly. My concepts are blocky squares and rectangles. but it comes across as very plain. I could use the help. Love the videos. Take it easy man.

Mausritter looks great. I downloaded and printed the free manual/book. My kids and their friends should really enjoy it. Simple rule set. Neat concept. I also paid for and downloaded “the estate” which is a whole story arc. They have it for sale for the next few days. 3/14/22. This will be a great start to get my kids further into RPGs. We read the book series “FART QUEST” which also has a free simple game available. My wife and kids loved it. Would love to see you do artwork for mausritter and fartquest…

[@dirkvoltaar]

I am pretty certain that I got into RPGs because of the books and their art. Also pretty sure that that is why I became a designer. Shout out to Quest RPG - super for new players - beautifully laid out, with amazing illustrations from Grim Wilkins.

[@MySqueezingArm]

I suggest checking out Pathfinder second edition. It's a bit tougher than 5E, but has a LOT more flexibility. Game is available for free online, and all you need is core rulebook if hard back.

[@ndowroccus4168]

Cool collection

[@Arcadio89]

Nice video. I'll check your recommendations 😊

[@NateTreme]

Thanks JP!

[@morpheium203]

This Christmas, if I don't receive the starter/essentials set of DnD I'm going to just reward myself with it xD

[@jonnil1997]

How did u find all these? Such cool recs!

[@EricfromBloatGames]

Great recommendations! Now, I gotta go spend some money. :)

[@colinmorton8074]

Great vid, as always. Love the shirt, is it one of your designs?

[@JPCoovert]

Thanks! Shirt designed by Obisun (threadless)

[@reneesteeves3698]

What an awesome list. I think i’m going to have to pick up Neverland for the artwork alone! Also speaking of artwork, who makes that shirt you ate wearing in the video? Cheers!

[@JPCoovert]

Definitely grab Neverland! Shirt is by Obisun on Threadless!

[@reneesteeves3698]

@@JPCoovert awesome. And how would you compare Mausritter to Mouse Guard?

[@JPCoovert]

@@reneesteeves3698 Never looked at the Mouse Guard RPG, but thematically the same!

[@sportyeight7769]

@@JPCoovert Mouse Guard feels way less whimsical than mausritter. But yeah, both are mouse doing adventure stuff kinda.

love the video and love your content.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I'd recommend Mork Borg as a great rules lite TTRPG that is also a fantastic art book. Very rules lite system (also sometimes a bit confusing for beginners), but the FLAVOR of the book/game system is incredible. It is described as a "Doom metal album of a game." Literally. I haven't played the game, but I've used it as inspiration for creating heavy metal music. It's also very "ZINE-ish", which I'm guessing you will appreciate.

[@Grimmlocked]

mork borg isn't a game it's an artboook.

[@Grimmlocked]

mousritter is king!

[@ashleysloan5781]

Great vid! Tho not really a TTRPG i think you would really enjoy Four Against Darkness.

[@JPCoovert]

Looks really cool actually! I’ve never played any solo games and would love to try some.

[@PiccoloMerlo]

Nice!

1000, 1000 Islands is based on South East Asian mythology.

Treme = Tremay I think

[@NateTreme]

thats correct! doesn't bother me if said differently though, not even my own family is consistent with it.
