27) Apocalypse World I am going to be real, I forgot I got this _digital_ book on drivethru rpg, and I am very happy I do. I played it once a while back, and been thinking of getting it, well seems I got it digitally. Heck yeah.

26) The Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master Even more tips and tricks on preparing less for your TTRPG games. It is a bit of a standalone book, and you wouldn't need the prior one, but hey, it's pretty cool, lol.

25) Extreme Dungeon Mastery I can't really say much about this book, as it was originally gifted to me about 5 months ago from someone who got out of the hobby for some amount of health reasons and such. I still haven't cracked it open yet. But it's there, on my book shelf.

24 ) Super Console This is a great got that I got on DrivethruRPG forever and a day ago. Super Console RPG is a ttrpg that tries to allow you to play a character from a console rpg, like in the days of the Sony PlayStation, Nintendo NES and SNES and Sega Genesis. It's very fun.

23) Rocket Age Got this from a local college game convention I ran, by one of the people that was there. I also have not ran it yet, but been sitting on my shelf, and a flip through it once in a while. One day, I may actually put more mental effort in running a game with it.

Sorry, real life got in a way from me continuing this. 22) Zombie World I have not actually got to open this up and give it a try yet. But I got this a few Gencon's ago, and just loved the idea of a card-based TTRPG (based on the game I was already working on development on).

21) Shadowrun (specifically 5th edition) As someone who calls himself a Technomancer, it would be a shame if I didn't have shadowrun I think. I know that the editions are constantly debated on which one is the best one; I was first introduced with 5th edition, and had to support it.

20) Grimtooth's Ultimate Traps Collection I once asked for books that could help me in the process, and Grimtooth's traps was suggested. Years later, luckily, this ultimate collection existed (in pdf form) and I snatched it up.

19 ) Starfinder 2e I have the playtest of Starfinder 2e, just like I do with pathfinder 2e. And sometime soon, I will have the core books for starfinder as they come out. While I don't see eye-to-eye with all the things in it, I think it is really good for what it's trying to do.

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 14/08/2025

18) Pathfinder 2e A lot of my books are currently for this system. I got the playtest, the premaster, and the remaster. I have ran a few games of it, from experience players to inexperienced. My home campaign is currently playing with this ruleset, and one day I may get to play a Magus again xD

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 14/08/2025

17 ) D&D 5e I might as well include the one I know lots of people will probably also have. I do have a copy (ok, two copies) as when it came out, I ran a game with 30+ players and a few extra GMs, in a rpg club wide game. I haven't touched it in years now.

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

16 ) Inspectres A long while ago, I was asked to run a Scooby Doo inspired game (with some financial compensation), and I went on the hunt for a system that could help handle that. And well, I found Inspectres, and it was perfect. The game was a blast, and I think about it a lot.

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

15) The Lazy Dungeon Master I still have lots of other TTRPG systems to share, but figured at 15, we might start mixing in a few non systems in. If you run or want to run games, you should give this book a read. I think there is some good advice, though remember it's only one approach.

14) Blade Runner Truth be told, I don't know much about the blade runner setting or anything, but I seen this when I picked up Vaesen, and knew I had friends who like it. Figured I could read it, learn something from it, or if inspired run it. I have not opened it yet...

010

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

13 ) Vaesen Nordic Horror RPG, but also like a more modern set game? Call me curious. I still haven't finished reading this one, but I got it thanks to a podcast I was listening to introducing it to me.

020

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

12) Microscope The most fucking wild game I got on here. Fractal role playing, with no focus on your own characters is just so fun. I got it mostly to analyze, but have loved it since I read it. I need to run it again sometime..

010

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

11 ) Gurps (4th Edition) I been a big fan of GURPs and SJ games for almost as long as I known they have existed. I even recall using this version of GURPs to create a TTRPG rosetta stone, to migrate mechanics from different things, as a budding designer.

010

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

10 ) Cortex Prime Cortex, the base system for marvel heroics, has gone many iterations. Cortex prime is the most recent one, and one that I been vibing with pretty well. I also ran a one shot on a stream for Game Master Monday once, it was very fun!

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

9) Star Wars Saga Edition So, the first TTRPG I ever got to play in, not just read and fantasize about was Star Wars, using either the Saga Edition Rules (might have been the Revised though, tbf). I bought this mostly as a keepsake, as while I think it's a fun game, I have no want to run it today.

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

8) Act Ten I got this on a whim, as a friend of mine got it to run a anime game, and I wanted to show my support of playing / experiencing it. I really liked it, though the game we did of it didn't really kick off. No fault of the system though.

010

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

7) Modern Age This isn't as happy of a message that it could be. Like, don't get me wrong, I love the AGE system, and think Green Ronin did well with the priors, but there is a lot that made me sad about it. I love classless systems, but man that wasn't what I wanted from this.

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

6) Fantasy Age I do have a copy of fantasy age, given that I loved Dragon Age so much, and thought that it really shined when it stepped away from the dark world of Dragon Age as a system to handle the setting.

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

5) Monster of the Week I absolutely love this game, though any game set in a modern world with fantasy elements is going to do well. While I really love the narrative focus, it isn't something I have ran much, nor do I think I would, as lots of games I'd try to run with this, I could in NovArchaic..

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

4) Marvel Heroic Roleplaying One of the best systems when you want to play a super, though it does focus on Marvel heroes. You can easily hack a system to create custom heroes, and feel very epic. My friends and I ran lots of huge games, even a 6 party, 30 player game during a semester in college.

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

3) Avatar Legends I was one of the people who kickstarted this game. And while I don't fully agree with some concepts of it, I think it's pretty solid adaptation system for when you want to run a game in the avatar world. I been itching on running one in a more modern one, but maybe one day.

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

2) Burning Wheel! Can't find my picture of my copy exactly, but this is a game that I have loved since I first found out about it. I love the mix of mechanics meeting RP. Though, my friends and I have joked about hacking the system to run a pokemon game one day...

000

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 13/08/2025

1) Dragon Age This game I had 2 copies, this is the second one I got from 2 gencon's ago. I started as one of the people who got an original box set. This game I got a lot of love for, as it came out when I started to fall out of love for class based systems, but rocked my worldview on them.

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 21/02/2025

We are at 24 people, just 6 more and I will drop the first of the 5 optional themes early! If all 5 get dropped early then maybe something will happen extra? hmm

Graph of participants of Street Grimore Jam in 2025. So far we got 24 people joined.

011

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 20/02/2025

Just thought I should drop in and say that the 2025 Street Grimoire Jam is coming soon! Oh, and thanks to my discord the optional themes might get released early... #streetgrim25

Discord message that says: "Ok, there are 5 different optional themes that have yet to be revealed. I will release the first one early, if we get 30 people to join the jam ( https://itch.io/jam/2025-street-grimoire-jam ) before it would be released naturally.

If this succeeds, I will then let you know the next goal to get the next one, and continue doing so until we get all of them.

perhaps we can chat about something even more spectacular if we discover all 5 before April 1st 🙂"

pov: you are my phone and I am trying to figure if the effort to make a short video is worth it (probably is, but like, im feeling lazy)

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 15/04/2024

#StreetGrim24 Whelp, it's time to get this going again. I will be hosting the Street Grimoire Creative Jam again this year, and I am planning on doing a lot to make sure it's the best it can be. I even have super amazing guest judge's.

So I made an announcement on my discord, that has a link to my current rules for NovArchaic in a google doc form (loads slowly, because 200+ pages). If you are interested in seeing what I got so far, join my discord!

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 21/09/2023

Some of you may know my game NovArchaic, the classless modern day TTRPG game that has been my goal to make for my entire time as a game dev? It's "birthday" is coming in November, and I want to make it a good one. I have lots of announcements ready for that month. Find out more soon.

I have a new poll on how to make my ko-fi memberships more enticing; I think I want to make little homebrew posts for members only, but uncertain what would be interesting to most. I know I personally don't like 5e much, but I will adapt.

Kyle | He/Him | Working on TTRPGs and writing articles @yftechno.twicry.com · 08/08/2023

A new poll is up for what article I will write this weekend. Check out my discord to vote! (I write about the games I design, ttrpgs, and marketing for indie devs) discord.com/invite/7n2nGjd

So, meant to get this done earlier, but I was dumb. It's the end of July, so my silly little game is over. And I think it was kinda successful. I will write a Post Mortem about it, and what we can learn from it. Wonder what stupid thing I'll do next...
