​Thieves of the Tome

​2026 Ennie-nominated RPG for “Best Rules” and Best Game”, Thieves of the Tome was designed specifically for one-shot, chaotic play using real books to cast spells, create characters and escape from a fantasy heist gone wrong. Expect the session to be divided into a 30-minute block for spell and character creation and two to two and a half hours to play out the daring escape. Pizza will be provided (is a heist complete without some celebratory pizza??).

​“The horrid wizards have stolen magic from every realm. They stole our spells, our destiny, and it's time to take it all back. Thank goodness you're here — a thief, cunning and resourceful.

​You may not know how to cast magic, but you will cast magic nonetheless! Improvise and twist every wretched spell effect into something that can help you escape. Use every tool at your disposal to beat the wizards.

​Each thief is destined to steal a book, to follow the patterns of the scrawling text within, and embracing this destiny will bring them salvation.

​This explosive TTRPG is played using real books. You read that right, real books. You will bring a book from your shelf and turn it into a spellbook for another player to cast from. The GM will bring a book for you to dive into, shaping the world around you and the obstacles in your way.”

​“So, if you ever thought that Anna Karenina could be the perfect scenario for a chaotic fantasy heist story, this is the game for you.”
