As well as tips and tricks for you to utilize in case you run across any number of situations.

We were sent an advanced copy of the book to check out, and it's pretty stacked with information that first-time GMs may not know or thought about. The book does a great job of dispelling a lot of myths and troubles players might have when taking on the role of GM, providing goals for yourself and the players to make sure you're all having fun, some guidelines in case players come across subjects they're not fans of, how to start a Session Zero with a player, creating everything from locations to encounters to NPC's, and more. If you're looking for a generic guide that isn't tied to a specific franchise, this would be a great option. You can read more about it below, as it's currently going for $16.
