GM Mastery

“The attitude of the master GM is always positive. When he looks at a situation laden with problems, he sees opportunities instead – for every problem, no matter how severe, implies the existence of an opportunity in the form of a solution.

Toisten inspiroimisesta

“Nothing brings me more satisfaction than to hear that individual Judges’ copies of these products have become dog-eared or filled with notes necessitating new copies. It is like a grand symphony.

Talon säännöistä ja yllätyksellisyydestä

“Dave [Arneson] and I disagree on how to handle any number of things, and both of our campaigns differ from the “rules” found in DandD.

Toisten puolesta kuvittelusta

“There are unquestionably areas which have been glossed over. While we deeply regret the necessity, space requires that we put in the essentials only, and the trimming will oftimes have to be added by the referee and his players.
