Hi guys,
It has been over a year since we last spoofed the Slayer's Guide series. Now that we are in convention season, it must be time to do it again!
Written by Signs & Portents columnist Jonny Nexus, the Slayer's Guide to Games Masters is not one for kiddies - in fact it says, right there on the cover, recommended for mature readers only. This is not a book about taking a longsword to your Games Master, of course. This is a guide to circumventing his insidious designs, how to really get right up his nose and, well, get your own way in a game time after time. That has to be worth $9.95 of anyone's money
Within SG Games Masters, you will find an extensive study on the types of GMs that may be found (the Storyteller, Control Freak, Accidental GM and, of course, the Female GM), and the weak points prevalent in them that can be exploited. You will also be instructed as to how use your environment to best advantage (do you play with comfy chair lounging, or the traditional dinner table?), and you will be advised of the tricks GMs use (nasty screens!) to keep campaigns on track - and what you can do about it. . .
Whether you want to take the tack of being an outright rules lawyer, wish to scupper the GM through purely roleplaying means (full instructions for becoming a Method Roleplayer are included!), or are trying to find your GM's minimum bribe level, The Slayer's Guide to Games Masters will be a book that will watch your back in friendly games or in conventions, wherever your favourite gaming haunt is likely to be.
The Slayer's Guide to Games Masters retails for $9.95 and will be available in your local store within the next two weeks.
