Just a thread for recommending and discussing books about RPGs.
I'll start by mentioning The CRPG Book: A Guide to Computer Role-Playing Games. It's a free, non-profit book. It's also the result of 8 years of work, in which 167 volunteers made their contributions. The .pdf that I just linked weighs around 229 MB, and for good reason: the book has 685 pages, with color screenshots, covering hundreds of games, from the 1970's to the 2000's.
It's an invaluable reference book, since it not only covers the famous computer RPGs, but also the extremely obscure ones. There's a lot of games here that I've never even heard of, let alone played.
What other books about RPGs would you recommend? Let me know in the comments!
