As tabletop RPG fans, we’re living well right now. There’s a smorgasbord of incredible games out there to play, and more people than ever interested in playing with you. But all those options mean it can be tough to choose which system to try next, and doubly so come Black Friday, when there are loads of great offers on loads of great titles (as shown by the current Black Friday board game deals, or the overload of D&D Black Friday deals). Here I present some of my favourites that I think are absolutely worth picking up in the sales, and though there are a lot more than five I’d love to introduce to your library, these are the ones that I think a lot of groups can get a lot out of.
As with anything, the cost-benefit analysis is something to consider with tabletop RPGs (or TTRPG, for short). I know a lot of my players love horror, so I get a lot of mileage out of games in that genre, but your group may vary. Ultimately, the Black Friday sales are just a fantastic opportunity to pick up something new, lose an evening devouring systems and settings, and have fun with your friends with the best tabletop RPGs.
