Rise of the Lazy Gamemaster Draft Chapters

I'm working on Rise of the Lazy Gamemaster throughout 2026 and would love your feedback.

The project is now on Kickstarter!

You can find the draft chapters for Rise packaged up in four batches and released every few weeks. Here are the current batches:

Batch 1

Batch 2

Batch 3

Batch 4

Map Pack

Send feedback to mike@slyflourish.com. I don't need line-level editing. Instead, focus on these questions: what is missing that should really be in here? What is in here that doesn't need to be?

This material will expire and be removed in the second half of 2026.

Well written. Concise but with more than enough information for a GM to use in set up and follow up.

Bill Vee

This is fantastic. 0 regrets subscribing to this Patreon!

Michael Cremin

Mike is good energy in the TTRPG space, so I am more than happy to support him!

Maatlock

Excited about these dude! I support you because I think you're a good guy and fighting the good fight for the hobby... so stuff like this is icing on the cake. Thanks for everything you do.

Rob C

Great stuff as always Mike!

A Light in the Darkness

I thought I heard you mention a combat tracker in a recent podcast, but I can't seem to find it on your Patreon Mike. Thanks.

Henrik Klippström

Hi! I recently joined Hero level here and was enjoying listening to the backlog of these pods, but now, after about 10 listened, my podcast player (Podkicker) suddenly say "Source error" when I add an episode to the playlist. Any idea what is wrong? /Henrik, Sweden

Michael Shea

Hi Henrik! It's likely that Patreon is limiting the total number of episodes on the podcast. You should be able to still listen to them here or on the Patreon app. Hope that helps!

Anthony Falk

Awesome stuff thanks for #15 :D

Gregory M

Seriously Mike you're nuts. There's enough content in this post for another book.

Michael Shea

=) This stuff probably won't become its own book since its supplementary to City of Arches and the cost to make a supplementary book is really high. But there's something new coming in a month or two I think you'll be really excited for!

Gregory M

Oh I get it. I'm just saying your Patreon has huge value. 😊 If you ever do a re-release of COA or do something like make a ShadowDark specific version of it you should move all of this stuff into that though.

Chris

Really enjoying your podcast and posts Mike and thank you for all you continue to do for the RPG hobby! I may have missed it but have you ever shared your campaign notes for your shadow dark campaign? I am thinking of starting my group out on shadow dark and that would help me tremendously as a time saver :)

Mike, I don't usually write flattering posts, but I'll make an exception ;-) I'm a fan! Both the way you run your channel (keeping your distance, being honest, and not losing sight of the fact that it's about having fun playing with friends and having a sense of humor) and your whole philosophy of content creation (short, concise, to the point, and practical, so that you can use it while playing) make me enjoy watching and buying the materials you create. It's never a waste of money or time. I'm eagerly awaiting the new Kickstarter.

I've been a weekly listener for just over a year or so and finally decided to join so I could see this "secret project". Wow. I can't wait for the finished product, looks like it will be invaluable to review before every prep session.
