What it is about
Bookshop Tales is a cozy solo journaling RPG about books, readers, and the stories waiting to be discovered between the shelves. Run your own bookshop, build a collection of unique books, and help visitors find the perfect story. Each day, people arrive looking for something different. Some are searching for adventure, comfort, inspiration, or a meaningful gift. Others are hoping to find a rare edition, a forgotten favorite, or a book that simply feels right. Generate new books for your shelves, grow your collection over time, and watch your bookshop slowly become a place filled with familiar faces, favorite stories, and shelves packed with books. Write, sketch, organize your collection, or simply follow the moment. No roleplaying experience required. Features: Create and customize your own cozy bookshop Build a growing collection of unique books Generate readers, book requests, and new arrivals Discover rare and collectible editions Track your collection with included journal pages Printable PDF format Booklet-ready version included for easy home printing Every illustration in Bookshop Tales was hand-drawn by me and created specifically for this game.
