Has your game got the blahs? Are your players spending more time thumbing through your book collection than hunting down clues, more energy heckling one another than in crushing their cruel foes? Never fear, o beleaguered Game Masters, for Robin D. Laws, noted game designer (Feng Shui, Hero Wars, Dying Earth, Rune) and columnist for Dragon magazine is here to help. Know your players! Analyze your system! Build your campaign! Design adventures! Prepare to be spontaneous, and improvise like a fiend! Whether youre a beginner or an experienced roller of the polyhedrals, the insights in this book will improve your Game Mastering faster than you can say, Roll for initiative! In Dork Tower 15, John Kovalic (http://www.dorktower.com) writes: Robin D. Laws collection of game mastering wisdom seems at first deceptively slim. But this should be required reading for anyone who has ever or who ever wishes to actually run a game for other thinking human beings. Campaign design, adventure design, and plot hooks have certainly been discussed ad nauseam in many an article before, but I dont remember any advice being as basically sound nor as solid as Robins. In Dragon Magazine, I have the pleasure of illustrating his The Plays The Thing column. Im just glad I now get to enjoy his thoughtprovoking insight and erudition without having to stare down a deadline at the same time. If ever any university taught Game Mastering 101, this would be the textbook for the course, and Robin would be tenured many times over.

I enjoyed reading Robins' Laws, but I felt some sections were a bit repetitive. There are definitely solid tips for new GMs, though, so I think it has its value. Just wish it had more varied examples throughout.

Not worth the hype
I was really looking forward to this book, but honestly, it didn't live up to my expectations. Some of the advice feels outdated, and I struggled to find helpful insights for my campaign. Maybe it's better for total beginners, but it left me wanting more.
