The RPG Manual is a rulebook for a tabletop role-playing game. It is filed with Literature and gives a fair lift to the mood.
Reading it eases boredom, stress and unhappiness. Its relief is lower than a Paperback but still worth the time. It suits a survivor with a spare evening and no novel at hand.
RPG Manuals turn up in closets, kids' bedrooms, book stores, libraries and comic stores.
Reading
Each manual spawns with a title. The titles include Swords & Fireballs, Vampire Hackers, Planet Masters and Legends of Ironsand Bog. Others are Loot Lords: The Tan Goblin, Damsels & Dangers and Crater World. The title changes nothing in play.
The read cuts boredom the most. Stress and unhappiness ease by a smaller, equal amount. A Paperback gives more relief on every count and weighs less. Still, an RPG Manual is a good second choice when it is the only book in reach.
Locations
Closets and kids' bedroom filing cabinets are the best bet, holding one about a third of the time. Book store counters and shelves and library shelves come close behind. Bedroom small boxes, kids' bedrooms and cybercafe filing cabinets hold them about a quarter of the time. Comic stores hold them often on counters and shelves. Attics, halls, living rooms and bedroom crates hold one about one time in five. Garage storage and cybercafe desks turn them up now and then.
