Yazeba's B&B by a bunch of folks. This game is way outside my usual diet, but I think it is a true storygaming masterpiece. A shocking amount of game in a drop-dead gorgeous package, a gentle and moving experience stuffed to the gills with stunning bits of design. Would encourage all to investigate

Unconfirmed Contact Reports by lots of people. The whole box set is cool, but this booklet stood out to me. I LOVE that it turns the traditional bestiary (which I don't really care about) into a gold mine of adventure seeds. These are not things to kill--they are things to investigate, solve, LOVE

HMtW by Josh McCrowell. I'm an RPG book pervert--I want them all, I want to make them kiss like action figures. But I have massive respect for the everything book, the game that is so overflowing with good systems/processes that you could run it for years with one volume. This is one such book!

Beyond the Pale by Yochai Gal. When it comes to adventures, I crave specificity. For me, DnD is primarily about wonder and exploration. When I play through someone else's module I want to feel like I'm pointcrawling through their brain, their personal obsessions, their fascinations. This KILLS

Electrum Archive #2 by Emiel Boven & Ava Islam. Love the format, love the art, vibes in this book are off the charts. Issue 1 was beautiful and engaging but a little skeletal re: gameable content, this new issue is a perfect companion. Singular vision, executed masterfully
