The design essays in part were written during the design of various projects which means that they are reasonably practical and tied to the process as opposed to abstract writers guidelines.Even if you are not going freelance/into deisn and just planning on writing adventures for your group reading around the subject is a valuable thing. Where you look for advice as a GM may vary, so may your influences and preferred authors - if you are unsure about Wolfgang, perhaps checkout his writing and see if it sits well with you before you shell out.Having already paid to see them as they were written they're on my list of things to purchase - so for me they are definitely worth the price.</blockquote>
