Reseñas de la Crítica

“Highly recommended for gaming nerds everywhere.” (CityBookReview.com)

“A fantastic resource.” (Skyland Games)

Great for beginner DMs

Very high level and basic information on common situations that arise while playing. The chapter on knowing the rules vs making rulings was the highlight for me, but it does seem like something any DM could figure out after a session or two.

Great for making an inclusive space

I love how there is stress on making sure no one is uncomfortable or excluded.

a little too PC for me

good info to keep in mind good ways to handle a tpk and very good ways to inform the player characters talk to much about not being a bad person that seemed unnecessary but that is good to know for a new dm

Thanks for the Inspiration

this gave me so many ideas without overwhelming me or my players. It helped spur an otherwise lackluster writing period into a flurry of ideas and inspiration to improve my game, writing style, and approach to DMing.

Self promotion and back patting abound in this book.

It’s just a collection of “essays” from a few well respected RPG names. Not useful in its entirety but some parts you might find helpful if you are in a particular situation.

Do not buy!

This is crap. Want to be a great gm/dm? Don't be a a-hole, communicate with your players, try to make the game fun for your players and yourself. There i summarised the book for you. Get a DMG and Lazy DM books, far better investment, has ctual content.

Woke Garbage

Unless you are looking for a heavy dose of woke indoctrination and little substance, then this book will be waste of your time

Utter garbage!

Starting off your book with insults and indoctrination is not the way to get readers. The first real chapter of this book is nothing but “woke” liberal nonsense.

I’m telling you please don’t waste a credit. Buy the Lazy dungeon master books.

waste of money

Instead of talking about all the good things roleplaying games have, This book focuses on white men are bad and will make the game about them being more privileged then everyone else
