So You Want to Be A Gamemaster Review

Comments

Bagel-Man

Just bought this book for Christmas, excited to read it!

GM James

I was super interested in this book when he announced it, but this review settled it for me. Just ordered my copy! Also, SUPER excited for the Demon Tailor!

Scott

Just ordered this book, thank you for the review PDM. I've been a fan of your reviews and content since I found your channel a while ago, thank you for all the work you put in not only giving us advice from your own experiences, but also being willing to share the products of others that we might not otherwise hear about.

Matthew Crismali

GREAT review! Definitely planning on buying this book a.s.a.p.. =D

MrGunn

Thank you for the review. I look forward to owning a copy soon.

Timothy S Wattigny

Not disagreeing with your conclusion about the received wisdom, but there is something special to the earned experience from all those tabula rasa DMs from the 70s and 80s.

I’m putting this nbook and my wish list and ordering it for some younger DM’s I know. Can’t wait for the Demon Barber of Fleet Street….I mean Demon Tailor!

David Ford

Welp, off to Barnes & Noble.

Jeff Krus

Will this be useful for people. like adults and teens who never DM before?

Jeff Heinen

I pre-ordered it as soon as it was announced. Got my copy when PDM got his and it really is a fantastic book!

Jay

Nice pitch for the book. Looking forward to reading it. Thanks.

Evil Chad

Fantastic, although... I am hearing a lot of things that PDM has been saying. Thanks, another book I need to get. But seriously ,Thanks again.

Saltheart

Thank You for the Review!!! Just Ordered - should have it by Thursday! :-) ---- 1000 words a minute? Wow!!! Keep up the fantastic content!

This is super cool. I will definitely be picking this up!

Masterhit

So... that's A LOT of post-it pages PDM. Do you write tiny info on those tabs or just mark pages you find especially great (?) (I guess the first would imply the second) Been reading his blog for a long time and was watching the info on the ook... now I think I'll pick a couple of copies up as gifts. Nice video!

Great review. Picked this up on Kindle, but it got relegated to a "later" status. Will have to bump it up - and the best way for me to do that is to go buy the hardcopy. "Show leather" is a term I use, although maybe a bit too much these days. Training and guiding young investigators all too often comes down to kicking them out of their computer search mindset. Saying, "Go talk to them, dammit!" makes me feel old, but it has to be done.

I received this for Christmas and though I've been playing and running games for many years now, I'm always interested in what I can do better. This book is cool. I'm enjoying even the refresher stuff because it's presented in a very fun way. Thanks for the recommendation!

James Cattaneo

Oh no! I love Hudson Hawk! Has some of the best one liners of all. Of course you have to be in the right frame of mind. LOL.
