THE GAME MASTER'S BOOK OF RANDOM ENCOUNTERS

"For the Dungeon Master who has it all together, The Game Master's Book of Random Encounters might just be the Holy Grail they never knew they needed. This book makes it possible to quickly build new locations or even completely start over when the best laid plans come crashing down."
―Screenrant, Best Dungeons & Dragons Gifts

"The Game Master's Book Of Random Encounters gives you all the taverns, temples, and timeless NPCs you can dream of in a few dice rolls. If you plan to be a Game Master for a while, it's a solid investment"
―TheGamer

"An excellent, beautiful book of re-usable one-shot adventures, adventure locations, and random tables for all sorts of things."
―Michael Shea, author of Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master

"A great DM resource for your home brew game."
―The DM Lair


THE GAME MASTER'S BOOK OF NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS

"What I love so much about this, is that the writing is just so good and it’s all these characters you can use for different adventures or different encounters in underground locations or big cities or small towns. It’s so useful."
―John August, screenwriter of Big Fish

"Great recommendation, if you...play Dungeons and Dragons."
―Craig Mazin, co-creator of the HBO series The Last Of Us

“Where has this book been all my game-mastering life? Finally, relief for the beleaguered GM who dreads the thought of their players deciding to, ya know…talk to people! Stress no more. Everyone―and I mean everyone―is in here.”
―Philip Athans, New York Times bestselling author and former Wizards of the Coast editor

"A wonderful resource full of colorful individuals to populate your worlds, but also as a collection of launching points for what could be branching side quests, story arcs or adventure hooks."
―Jasmine Bhullar, @ThatBronzeGirl and Twitch.tv/ThatBronzeGirl


THE GAME MASTER'S BOOK OF TRAPS, PUZZLES AND DUNGEONS

“As sharp as a razor-spiked pit and as clever as a sphinx with a Ph.D. in puzzlecraft. If you see your DM toting this book around, you'd better bring your "A" game, too!”
―Matt Forbeck, New York Times-bestselling author, Dungeons & Dragons: Endless Quest, Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game

"Offers a ton of unique puzzles and encounters at various challenge levels for any group of players to tackle."
―The Mary Sue

"Kick back, flip open a page and start building a dungeon your players will never forget!"
―Jim Davis and Jonathan Pruitt, Web DM

"This book is an essential addition to any dungeon master’s arsenal. It’s packed full of challenging riddles, puzzles, spiked pits, and Rube Goldberg-style death traps to make any game session an epic adventure."
―FOX 31 (TV)
