The kickstarter deluxe versions look sooooo cool. Glad I get to keep one of these for myself.
A picture of Thieves of the Tome deluxe zine. It has a molten conglomeration of thieves and the cover, all gibber mouths and eyes and books. The background is made of swirling gold foil and yellow.

Holy moley does this look like a lot of zines when I stand them all together.
A picture of several hundred copies of thieves of the Tome. The cover is a densely packed acidpunk illustration of wizards in various states of magical warping. One has sprouted wings, another has an elongated head, another tears through a portal.

Some physical edition glam shots. Doesn't it look good? Turn the books on your shelf into spells, characters, and adventure.

There's still time to preorder a physical copy (like 1 week).

Has an example of gameplay on some scraps of paper, and has an illustration of Shrei, a Space Gal with a colorful space suit, exposed brain, and engulfed in blue flames.

A page from a book. This chapter title has a large illustration of 3 brightly colored wizards. One is red and holding his hand up and casting some sort of spell, dressed in the robes of a priest and face blurring as it shakes in many directions. One is blue and dressed in a suit, radiating an air of posh. One is purple, partially replaced with electromechanical parts, and poring over a tome. A page from thieves of the tome. It has an illustration of NayZar, a phony prophet, as well as a stat block for them. NayZar looks like a bird wearing dirty blue robes. They wield an ocular staff and a tome with pages falling out. A page from thieves of the tome titled casting spells. It lists the steps of spell casting as 1. Speak the name 2. Hear the choice 3. Make a choice 4. Hear the effect 5. The consequences 6. Spell consumed. It also shows a colorful illustration of a bug man desperately trying to cast spells. A page from Thieves of the Tome titled Doom and Destiny. It shows a large illustration of a wizard with a scraggly beard and green goo flowing out of his head. His name is slime and he is a doomed thief.

Seriously if anyone knows where to find this game I really want it. It's published by Hobby Japan and about making your own language with the players at the table.
