An RPG rulebook that functions well enough at its job
Utterly captivated by the writing in Wanderhome by @jdragsky and @possumcreekgames
This game sounds like it will be magical, gentle and fun to play.

I think reading an rpg rulebook counts. it's really cute
Wanderhome is rich for storytelling, both collaborative with a group and for independent play. It expands storytelling beyond focusing on individual characters to create space for people to play as settings as well as NPCs, etc. The art is beautiful, the writing is vulnerable, and the world is one that I want to live in.
I've played the devs' previous game, Sleepaway, which is also excellent (horrow sleepaway camp), but Wanderhome is much more developed and takes many of the most evocative parts of Sleepaway. Highly recommend both, whether you have someone to play with or just want to think about worldbuilding and storytelling!

I love the premise of Wanderhome and its unique, gentle approach to storytelling. The focus on pastoral fantasy and themes of "post-war healing" is so refreshing, offering a space for reflection and emotional depth. The system is elegant and simple, perfectly suited to its tone of exploration and personal growth. However, despite my admiration for the game’s concept and mechanics, I realistically can’t see myself ever GMing it. The open-ended, non-confrontational nature of the gameplay is definitely unique, but I don't know any players that would be invested enough to give this a try.
My favorite Tabletop Rpg its lots of great art a great explanation of how it works and lots of characters and creation

A game I didn't know I needed until trying to unwind myself from a long, intense D&D campaign. The freedom to wander and create the world is so refreshing.
Play if you and your regular RPG group are looking to escape the usual GM and player dynamic--it's a big shift but a rewarding one.
