{"product_id":"9781956403046","title":"Everything I Need to Know I Learned from RPGs : A player's handbook for the game of life by Jeff Ashworth","description":"Jeff Ashworth, author of the bestselling Game Master series of resource books for the world's most popular roleplaying game, combines his depth of knowledge about the mechanics of dice-based RPGs and the universal experiences gathered while playing a campaign to create a ruleset for leveling up your own life.   Featuring invaluable lessons drawn directly from TTRPGs such as Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Blades in the Dark, Fiasco and other TTRPGs (\"Always check for traps;\" \"Never underestimate the power of a short rest;\" \"Don't feed the trolls\") as well as in-depth analyses of the ways in which these games' character archetypes can be successful models for varying approaches to life (\"Rage is My Armor: How to Live Like a Barbarian and Keep Your Job\"), this player's handbook for the game of life also features high concept illustrations of (and strategies for defeating) horrifying real-world monsters like that pile of junk in the garage, the soul-sucking ghost of nostalgia and the many-headed hydra that is the work\/life balance.   With more hilarious, practical lessons than you can fit in a bag of holding, and referencing more than a dozen popular tabletop roleplaying games, it's a self-improvement book for anyone seeking guidance (both the spell and the advice) in their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309724021109,"sku":"9781956403046","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781956403046.jpg?v=1762813056","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781956403046","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
