Guides for Reading a Tabletop Roleplaying Game

  • 1.  Guides for Reading a Tabletop Roleplaying Game

    I saw this question from Dr. Emily Friedman on BlueSky and was trying to think of anything which fit what she was asking - any suggestions? Library patrons picking up a TTRPG book can struggle to figure it out, since unlike traditional books they often aren't written to be read cover-to-cover without any jumping around - if something like this exists, it could be useful for libraries. Something like Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics"

    I also tossed this in the GameRT Discord.

    "What guides are there (in any format) for how to read a tabletop roleplaying game?"
