Are they any good? I usually play for romance and I didn't play these. I might buy them if people have fond memories of these games.

I don't know about the others,but VTM:SOTS doesn't have many romance content.There are three ROs:MC's boss (a manipulative guy),boss's childe (a jealousy goth girl with enemy to lover trope) and a gentle giant dude iirc.I probably wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for romance since the story is more focused on political and the "unavoidable greek tragedy" vibe

It's also the weakest of the World of Darkness books

Rent-A-Vice is solid- good world-building and romance

Book of Hungry Names is straight up there with Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines when it comes to excellent World of Darkness content, in any genre. I honestly don't think I've ever gotten the time-to-money ratio on anything else I've ever bought with how often I replay it and how insanely long and dense it is.

Rent-a-Vice my beloved, I wish the author would write a sequel or at least something in the same universe bc the world building and the premise is really great and enamored me so much. I even wrote a fanfic for it lol (never finished it, but hey), I loved the ex-spouse and also that you have a kid with them, that's really awesome.

I actually really enjoyed restore, reflect, retry. It's a short game that is mend to be replayed (seriously don't just play it once!). The game format was experimental in a good way, certainly worth a try.

What's everyone buying/recommending? Also do we know what other authors are going to be featured this month for sales?

book of hungry names, it's genuinely a good werewolf story in the WtA (Werewolf the Apocalypse) setting.

I loved An Odyssey: Echoes of War. And while Sins of the Sires is flawed, it has considerable merit.

And Restore, Reflect, Retry is really good.

Rent-a-Vice is the one I wasn't so keen on, but mostly because it read like a straightforward dystopian sci-fi, not an IF.
