What I REALLY want is a audio copy of the Campaign book but it is not on the store for selection. This Book on GMing starts with a lot of self-awareness tasks that I was not expecting. Probably a good thing.

Looks very thorough! I’ve only just begun to delve into it.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. It both enthuses and supports GMs’ developmental journey. Guy’s light and warm tone reduces barriers to entry for newbs and veterans alike. Somehow caters for both as well – this is not easy. Recommend following Guy’s process then you can re-examine elements at will/need. On a personal note to Guy – a heart felt expression of gratitude, thank you.

Really interesting and helpful book on running ttrpgs. The advice was well-thought out and well-organized with examples of how to put theories into practice. I believe this will help me immensely for years to come. The excellent artwork is a welcome bonus.

Exactly what I was looking for. As a new GM I was struggling with structure and pacing and the book is very helpful on those subjects.

I am a somewhat experienced game master, but due to life splitting up my long term groups… have been out of the ttrpg scene for quite sometime. For instance, last group I was a player in had recently made the jump from D&D3.5 to Pathfinder (1.0) last time we regularly played around a literal table.
Marrying a girl I used to date in high school. And she is bringing with her to the table her children, ages 22 to 11. So … I am getting a new group and wanted to brush up on basics and possibly learn somethings anew.
Your tome is helping me already, and I just got to chapter 8!

Honestly, you’ve changed my game completely. I was always really unsure, and felt overwhelmed, especially when the players went off script. With your videos, with the charts from your books, I just create a living, flexible world, so that I can help the players play the game that they want. I am a much more confident GM now, and it’s a lot more fun and less nerve wracking to play!

A quite enjoyable read that carries the words of its writer as if he was speaking to you across a table (or a youtube video). Lots to take away from this!

The PDFs have some minor issues which make it a bit harder to write on them, or that might just be the program I use to open them. The book itself is nice.

This is a great read, I haven’t read a book on game mastering before. That being said, I was able to learn a lot. I read through it, took notes, and followed along with the videos on YouTube that tie into it.

The book is opening up new worlds (no pun intended) for me to craft stories and engage my players. Thank you for producing this!

The book offers so much insight that I needed starting out as a new GM, but the 3D art style seemed a little uncanny which kind of detracted my overall reading experience but this might be considered a personal preference.
