Basics– Want some free advice? Little Book of GM gems are articles from Knights of the Dinner Table providing ideas for GM of all levels. Let’s break down what’s here.
Mechanics or Crunch– This isn’t a setting or a crunch book. It’s an advice book, so there are no mechanics here. -/5
Theme or Fluff– If this is an advice book, how’s the advice? Honestly, It’s solid. It’s not new, as it’s from the Knights of the Dinner Table Comic, but it’s good. This is pretty timeless advice that new GMs can use and old GMs can use a refresher on. 5/5
Execution– Overall, this is a well laid out book, but there are a few small issues. Hyperlinks, decent font, good layout, and pictures all make this an easy read. There are some issues with background and the use of a cramped cursive font in the intro of each chapter is a bit hard to read. This is good, but not perfect. 4.9/5Summary– This is a well done product, but if you should buy depends on what else you have. If you have every Knights of the Dinner Table comic, then this might not be the best purchase. I don’t (one day, but not now!), so this is a solid read as I get some good advice. I’ve gotten some of this advice before from older GMs at cons, but not everyone has that opportunity. This product fits that niche of passing along good advice to GMs who haven’t gotten the expertise from meeting other GMs. It’s not completely new, but it is completely good. It’s a solid product, but make sure you are getting what you want. 99%
