Barbarian: Guys, I'm getting a plan. This monster might be an easy one.
Rogue: I think I know where this is going.
Barbarian: Step one, I pop the big bubble with my axe. Step two, super-hot water floods in. Step three, it cooks the giant crab. Step four, we all eat crab for months.

Almost anyone who has been in the RPG hobby for a while has a very full bookshelf. Books are the tangible, collectible starting point for many of the stories we build together. Book Nooks celebrate the process of bringing a story to life. They are bookshelf dioramas that depict scenes from favorite books. Making a Book Nook is a fun way to enhance your collection and deepen your fandom.
Druid approved: They are made entirely from paper with no plastic, metal, or glass.
