The Raging Swan Press Tome Club

A game book reading club but cooler because we read tomes.

I love reading. I read for pleasure, and I read for (self) education. Reading is one of life’s great pleasures.

I’ve read loads of books like Deep Work, Slow Productivity and Atomic Habits, which have transformed the way I work. I’ve read loads of fiction (the Conan stories, anything by HP Lovecraft, Raymond E. Feist’s Riftwar Saga and more) that deeply and fundamentally influence the kind of games I run and the kinds of adventures and settings I design.

That all said, I rarely read with the goal of improving my games and my designs.

Want to join the Raging Swan Press Tome Club?

Each month, we read a book specifically focused on some element of game design, a seminal adventure module or a campaign setting. So far, we’ve read Kobold Guide to Dungeons, Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master and So You Want to be a Game Master.
