Portion of a review blogged by Swords & Stitchery...

I've been making my way through How to Game Master Like A ing Boss for the better part of a week. The book is part DM's Guide, part RPG self-help course, part re-division OSR campaign kit, and all about notching up your game. Venger was very excited to get this slime-covered child of old school/new school weirdness into my hands via email. And I have to say that its very well done.

The sucker clocks in at over 124 pages filled with practical advice, lots of practical hands on material and a bunch of very non-politically correct adult only artwork. This book isn't filled back to back with the gore of some of his earlier efforts but there is a lot of NSFW material. And that's fine with me. The book is a step by step course from accepting your role as DM to preparing the adventure design.

Not surprisingly, this is a pretty solid hands-on step by step process broken down by Mr.Satanis in his enthusiastic style. Yes, there is an actual appreciation for old school gaming here and that energy translates into some hand-holding but there's also a ton of practical advice. But is it good advice? Yes, I actually do think that there's some real world advice here that goes about trying to speak to both the new DM and the beginner from the ground up. And that's exactly what this book does. It takes the DM from start to finish, improving his skills along the way.​
