Building an RPG with Unity 2018, based on building some of the most common RPG features, teaches you tips, tricks, and techniques that can be applied to your own game.

Does a great job going from 0-100 on everything you need to know to get started. A chapter is dedicated on how to plan building your game. Too many times people skip this important step to plan all the little details and then have to make changes later and pushing back your release date. This book covers just about everything you need to get your feel wet and learn, including lots of code, illustrations, pictures, and examples.
