Description
As a game master, you’ve run roleplaying games. Maybe you’ve run a hundred games or maybe you are about to run your first game. Either way, we all face the same challenge – how do we make our games cool and fun for our players and ourselves? The Practical Guide to becoming a Great GM is the book that brings all the areas you need to know as a Game Master into a single space and shows you how to do all of it better, faster, clearer, and with confidence to know your game will be awesome.
The core concept of the audiobook is about enabling you to build your game in such a way that it runs itself. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride while watching how everything plays out!
This audiobook is designed to work with all roleplaying systems, regardless of who wrote them or what their rules are. This is because how we run a game is the same regardless of the mechanics and how we handle the mechanics of each system is exactly the same – in a clever and cunning way to make our games better. Unlock your true potential and learn how to have fun as a Great GM!

As a visually impaired GM, having the option for an audiobook is great and deeply appreciated.
The content is well structured and well thought-out; mostly concise; read clearly; and rife with many practical examples hand-picked from pop culture (across a few genres) to be more-or-less universally understood. Chapters range from 15 minutes to 2 hours-and-change due to the varying complexity of each subject, yet it is fairly easy to find good stopping points even in some of the longer chapters. There are one or two wording mistakes, but I find those are easily ignorable and equally easy to understand the intended verbiage through context.
The only flaw, IMO, is that the script is read as things appear in the book (which makes sense), but this might result in a point being reiterated two or three times depending on if a particular line appears as a splash box near-to the paragraph it appeared in when formatted in print. For some people, that iteration may be an aid in remembering a specific point. For others, it can come across as annoying. Your mileage may vary.

Finally, a GM mentor that speaks my language! Seriously, I learn well the way Guy presents. I look forward to reading the book one more time with the audiobook simultaneously (it helps me learn). Bonus points for the section outlines and the style you break up your pages.
I would have preferred a hard copy, but it would have been over 100 Canadian Maple Syrup Dollars after shipping and currency conversion. $75CDN was my limit
