I’m returning to What Would the Smart Party Do, the premiere UK RPG podcast, to share with Gaz and Ben all the amazing secrets of So You Want To Be a Game Master. We had a pretty awesome, free-ranging conversation that often went beyond the book itself and into some really great discussions about GMing in general.

The lads are delighted to have returning Good Friend of the Show, RPG producer and designer at Atlas Games, Justin Alexander. He’s got a new book coming out, available in all good purveyors of such things, So You Want To Be A Game Master. Join for great insights, some not seen or heard before on the Alexandrian (or maybe anywhere!) and to get a unique precis of what is in this fine work.

Roleplay Rescue invited me onto their podcast to talk about the upcoming So You Want To Be a Game Master! Our far-ranging conversation talks a lot about RPG scenario design and the Big Secret every new GM should know.

This episode is the final one for this season – no, really – and it’s my pleasure to bring you a conversation about a significant new book for the RPG scene.

Justin Alexander is a freelance writer and the author of the grand repository of ideas that is The Alexandrian. This is an interview with Justin about his forthcoming book, released in November 2023, So You Want To Be A Game Master.

Big thanks up front to Justin for agreeing to come and talk about his new book – it truly was another joyous and interesting conversation. I hope you find it illuminating too!
