The Culture: Everyone Needs A Copy Of "How To Win At RPGs"

There is one other thing I am going to recommend for this Christmas season, Jeffro Johnson's How To Win At RPGs from Pilum Press.

My copy came from the man himself. It's a short, brisk read and worth having it in print; this is something you want to study away from screen and noise so you can engage the text with the intensity of focus that you should be applying to the rules manuals of the hobby games.

If you get a gift card or some cash for Christmas, and you actually want to Git Gud, throwing some of that this way and showing Jeffro some love is a good idea (after, of course, putting in the effort to upgrade your skills).

In addition, engaging the Bros in conversation isn't that hard to do. Many are on Twitter, and several (including Jeffro) maintain their own blogs.

(P.S.: Steam Winter Sale is live. Makes a lot of my Wish List items so much cheaper.)
