Everything I Need Know I Learned From Rpgs HC
Relisted
Featuring invaluable lessons drawn directly from TTRPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Blades in the Dark, Fiasco and other TTRPGs ('Always check for traps;' 'Never underestimate the power of a short rest;' 'Don't feed the trolls') as well as in-depth analyses of the ways in which these games' character archetypes can be successful models for varying approaches to life ('Rage is My Armor: How to Live Like a Barbarian and Keep Your Job'), this player's handbook for the game of life also features high concept illustrations of (and strategies for defeating) horrifying real-world monsters like that pile of junk in the garage, the soul-sucking ghost of nostalgia and the many-headed hydra that is the work/life balance.
