LETTERS TO A YOUNG GM is the latest book of GM advice from award-winning author JOHN WICK (Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Houses of the Blooded, Cat, Banners). In it, John provides his unconventional game mastering advice to both young game masters and those who are still young-at-heart. Looking beyond the usual topics, he offers not only tricks and tactics, but also inspiration to those who want to sit behind the GM screen, but are uncertain about their skills. Drawing from books, television, movies, mythology, and folk tales, he breaks down the GM's craft in simple, easy-to-understand terms, then subverts them with a contrarian wink and smile.
In the book, John becomes your own personal cheerleader, rooting for you to succeed with words of confidence and inspiration. His advice is practical, always based on real experiences.
If you or someone you know wants to get better at this crazy skill known as "Game Mastering," this is the perfect way to get started.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR PAST CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGNS?
I've learned a lot from crowdfunding in the past. I've learned what I'm capable of doing and what I cannot do.
I also learned a lot from my previous Crowdfundr campaigns, BANNERS and WICKED DUNGEONS, which were both 100% successes with all goals fulfilled. Check them out!

For this campaign, I'm keeping things simple. Rather than promise stretch goals and add ons, I'm only funding the book. As I said earlier, LETTERS TO A YOUNG GM is already complete. It has been edited, laid out and ready to print. You are not helping fund a project that will be finished sometime in the future, you are funding a project that is ready to go now.
I have also designed this crowdfunding campaign to be as simple as possible. You get the PDF, you can order a copy of the book. I don't manage shipping, handling, or anything else. If you have any questions about your order, you can talk to the professionals at DRIVETHRURPG and they will handle any problems you might have.
