So the main takeaway I'm getting from this video is drink lots of tea.

I could get on board with this.

This was way too well written and presented set to so fitting music, that I'm teary eyed from the feels!

... I had links top all the publishers included in my previous comment, but apparently YouTube ate that one...

[LLCCB]

I have never heard of any of these games. Thank you so much for this video!

[dicebreaker]

What's your tea of choice to have with a cosy game? (and links have been added to the description thank you for the heads up everyone!)

[commanderraccoon]

omg? Thank you so much for that list. I'm going to buy Apawthecaria as a gift to my witchy mum, she's going to love it so much. Again, thank you for the recommendation, you rock!

[WardNightstone]

Mall kids is another good one it's a GMless game that is kind of like the old Canadian show 6teen as a TTRPG (the teenage workers and frequenters of a mall and their misadventures)

[WildfireMagni]

This was nice. I'd also like to point out Ryuutama as it's more about the journey than the destination or combat (although you can have plenty of that if you want) and it seems chill from what I've seen.

[ladyicondraco]

Thank you for these brilliant recommendations! So nice to see cozy and sweet games in the RPG space.

[kylegroom]

Can we get links to all these? Finding some of them is a pain on their own

[BokettoNekomata]

I already had many of these on my list of games to get but this just added more to it. Love the RPG list videos and I hope to see many more.

[antreiriukula]

I should not be watching this while sick: I'm getting way too choked up and emotional!

[alisondavis]

I'd love to see some of these played, they sound adorable!

[SatinFoxx]

I've owned Golden Sky Stories since they sent out the Kickstarter backed kits <3 Sadly I've only gotten one group to try it, but I absolutely loved it!

[stormy]

Fantastic list! I definitely want to try most of these, and wouldn't mind to try the rest if I came across it (and I am loving all the references to Redwall in this video 💙)

[affey]

Wow the algorithm delivered today! I’ve been circling this topic recently, and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for the list!

[kylewist]

Great list! I was not aware of three of these (Cozytown, Cantrip, Animon Stories)

My wife and I host a regular story game night here in Des Moines. Our reliable go-to cozy games include BFF!, The Quiet Year, Laser Kittens, Fortunes, and Fiasco with a soft tilt (found in the Fiasco Companion).

[mindfullbadger]

I love this list Every game I already know on this list is super fun! This video is a great resource for families too and especially teachers! Assisted language teachers and outdoor educators heads up! Good times in general, thanks for the extra recommends!

[disembodiedglances]

I haven't even thought a non-combat, cozy RPG was possible! Now I want to play all of these! Thank you so much for this amazing list, Dicebreaker!

[MiyagiYuki]

I adored all the ideas. Thanks for sharing this list
