RPG SUPERBRAIN JUSTIN ALEXANDER FINALLY PUTS ALL HIS GM ADVICE IN ONE BOOK!

According to Dave Thaumavore, I’m an RPG Superbrain.

I should put that on my business cards.

While you’re waiting for those business cards, though, you should check out How Do You Become a Good GM? Justin Alexander Has Some Answers, which is the far-ranging and deep-diving interview I did with Dave which dug into the darkest corners of my GMing philosophy, my approach to adventure design, and the driving passion which led to the publication of So You Want To Be a Game Master.

Here’s an excerpt:

But what it DID have was a really awesome McGuffin motivating the whole campaign, solid set-pieces, and four really cool villain factions with awesome hideouts. (Hideouts which, oddly, the published adventure told the DM they should never, ever allow the PCs to go to.) Basically, just a bunch of cool bits either glued to a railroad or bizarrely locked in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD BEHOLDER.

So You Want To Be a Game Master was a double feature on Heath’s Geekverse.

First up, Heath dived into the book, giving an extensive sneak peek between the covers, on the Morning Grind.

Then, later in the evening, I joined him for a session of Table Talk, where we took questions from viewers. We ruffled some feathers with this one!

Morning Grind / Table Talk

I was utterly thrilled to finally be able to hang out with Dael Kingsmill. She had the incredibly clever idea of using the table of contents from So You Want to Be a Game Master as a map for exploring what books, films, graphic novels, and games have deeply influenced me as a creator. If you want to watch us geek out about both GMing and Narnia, this is a video to watch ASAP!

Welcome to MonarchsFactory! On this channel you can find videos covering D&D, mythology, games, ridiculous fun with friends; all kinds of stuff.

I’m on the Questing Beast! (I… am a questing beast? How does this work?)

Ben Milton and I had a really great time chatting about my upcoming book So You Want To Be a Game Master, and he’s apparently declared that it’s the solution to the DM crisis!

Ben also asked his subscribers to send in questions, and we spent a lot of time answering them. The questions were fantastic, and I’d like to give a big Thank You! to Ben’s fans for creating such a great discussion.

Tonight at 6pm ET, I’ll be appearing on The DM Lair with Luke Hart! If you don’t see this until later, that’s okay! The interview will be archived on Youtube and you can watch any time!

Justin Alexander of the Alexandrian joins us in this live stream to offer our top new GM advice and answer your questions. Check out Justin’s latest book, So You Want to Be a Game Master, here!
