The kickstarter deluxe versions look sooooo cool. Glad I get to keep one of these for myself.
A picture of Thieves of the Tome deluxe zine. It has a molten conglomeration of thieves and the cover, all gibber mouths and eyes and books. The background is made of swirling gold foil and yellow.

Holy moley does this look like a lot of zines when I stand them all together.
A picture of several hundred copies of thieves of the Tome. The cover is a densely packed acidpunk illustration of wizards in various states of magical warping. One has sprouted wings, another has an elongated head, another tears through a portal.

Jarring that I didn't make this meme and the default spell count for Thieves of the Tome is 6. I'm sorry I disappointed you master wizard 😔
A meme showing a wizard inspecting a sheet of paper. The white text says "apprentices be handing in 6 spells and call it a grimoire"

Every player turns a real book into a spellbook.

More than 20 new pieces of acidpunk art, 3 modules to run the game in, and a new chapter on GMing to run the game using any book off your shelf!

Some physical edition glam shots. Doesn't it look good? Turn the books on your shelf into spells, characters, and adventure.

There's still time to preorder a physical copy (like 1 week).

Another batch of pages to share! A word on the marginalia: a large number of the illustrations in this RPG have stats.

Monsters in TotT are like mad libs. <bracketed> words get filled in with whatever book you're running the game from.

Has an example of gameplay on some scraps of paper, and has an illustration of Shrei, a Space Gal with a colorful space suit, exposed brain, and engulfed in blue flames. A page from Thieves of the Tome titled "What's the gamemaster doing?" A large illustration of a cyclops takes up the page. He has a massive overflowing bag filled with Tomes and swords. He carries a crying cyclops baby. A page from thieves of the tome. There is a large illustration titled Wraithen. It shows a bright green bird, with writhing tail feathers possessed by the spirits of the dead.

A page from a book. This chapter title has a large illustration of 3 brightly colored wizards. One is red and holding his hand up and casting some sort of spell, dressed in the robes of a priest and face blurring as it shakes in many directions. One is blue and dressed in a suit, radiating an air of posh. One is purple, partially replaced with electromechanical parts, and poring over a tome. A page from thieves of the tome. It has an illustration of NayZar, a phony prophet, as well as a stat block for them. NayZar looks like a bird wearing dirty blue robes. They wield an ocular staff and a tome with pages falling out. A page from thieves of the tome titled casting spells. It lists the steps of spell casting as 1. Speak the name 2. Hear the choice 3. Make a choice 4. Hear the effect 5. The consequences 6. Spell consumed. It also shows a colorful illustration of a bug man desperately trying to cast spells. A page from Thieves of the Tome titled Doom and Destiny. It shows a large illustration of a wizard with a scraggly beard and green goo flowing out of his head. His name is slime and he is a doomed thief.

Seriously if anyone knows where to find this game I really want it. It's published by Hobby Japan and about making your own language with the players at the table.
