How To Run A Great Fantasy or Sci-Fi Role-playing Game

Role-playing games are a set of rules for a shared movie that’s set in your head! Each player plays a character (think of them as the actors) in a world described and controlled by a player known as the ‘Games Master’ or ‘GM’ (think of them as the director, villains and extras all rolled into one).

Running great role-playing games is an art, it takes skill, creativity and passion, and I have played in some truly awful games, together with over a decade of running extremely successful games. So, in this this illustrated book, I have attempted to capture the reasons behind what makes a successful role-playing game, the common pitfalls and the golden rules to follow.
