Much like a gamer's Steam Library, it's not uncommon for tabletop gamers to accrue sourcebooks they haven't read or only read in part. With the beginning of a new year, I figured that compiling a list of RPGs-to-read is a good idea. Both to keep track of what books one hasn't completed as well as to share progress and interest with others. Others are more than free to share their own reading lists. Maybe we can even get a book club up! Right now I'm prioritizing KickStarted products. Some have been released to backers but not the general public yet. 1. Iron Kingdoms Requiem Campaign Setting (5e) 2. Southlands Worldbook for 5th Edition (5e)* 3. World of Aetaltis Player's Guide (5e)* 4. Arcanis 5e Campaign Setting (5e) 5. Dungeons of Drakkenheim (5e) 6. Uncaged Anthology, Volume 1 (5e) 7. Unbreakable: Revolution (Multi-System) 8. Worlds Without Number (OSR) 9. Deadlands the Weird West (Savage Worlds) 10. Haunted West (Original System) *there are other books owned in the series, but starting with the "basic" books is ideal.

I've owned the VtR books Requiem for Rome and Fall of the Camarilla for loving ages and still haven’t read either through.

Reading back through Pendragon at the moment. Have WFRP 4 and Aliens in my stack next. Chances I'll actually *run* any of these this year are about 0, but still.

Anomalous Subsurface Environment Levels 2-3 Eternal Lies Savage Worlds Adventure Edition DCC Lankhmar modules 1-8 A lot of these are books that I’ve skimmed, but need to make into eBooks so I can fully read without eye floaters.

Here's what I'm going through currently: Twilight 2000 4th Ed - this looks really promising so far. Root - I was really skeptical of how they'd pull this off, but the clearings and faction systems are done well. Scum and Villainy - Blades in the Dark but sci-fi. Looks pretty solid so far. Starfinder mech supplement - mostly for ideas to use in Starforged The One Ring 2.0 - Free League has been on a roll, and this has a lot of cool things going on. Just finished: Starforged - started a character in this already. Good refinement on the Ironsworn system and some great sci-fi generation tables. Brindlewood Bay - "a roleplaying game about a group of elderly women - members of the local mystery book club - who frequently find themselves investigating real-life murder mysteries. They become increasingly aware that there are supernatural forces that connect the cases they are working on..." Not only does this have a great concept, it has a really cool mystery mechanic where players determine the solution of the mystery instead of the DM. They find clues throughout the scenes and do a Theorize roll, using clues as bonuses for that roll, and the total determines how correct they are and what complications come from their conclusion.

I have Damnation City for VtR that I bought, flipped through and never opened again. Need to mine it for ideas.

I need to finish reading Jenna Moran's Glitch. As with most of her other stuff it's obtuse, engrossing, oddly organized, imaginative, evocative, and I will never be able to play it in practice because my brain doesn't work like this and neither do any of my friends'. I will read every Jenna Moran game and then think wistfully about what it would be like to play it if I had a cool brain and cool brain friends.
