Getting The Word Out For The 'How To Game Master Like a $%#ing Boss' KickStarter


So Venger Satanis has a brand new Kickstarter up and its manual about Dming and it looks like its going to kick ass. Which given the quality of his other gaming material and adventures is good with me.
So what is this project about? 
Above is the cover artwork by HELMUTT. 
"The time has come to set down what I've learned so that you, too, can wrestle the untamed crimson dragon that lurks in the shadows beyond the lowly Game Mastering practices of yore, weighing our hobby down.  To wrestle with the dragon and win... that is what I shall teach you!
I'll be going over the entire Game Mastering process:  tips, tricks, techniques, outside the box practices of the Hidden Masters, state of mind, confidence, insecurities, combat to non-combat encounter ratio, improvisation, room for improvement, dos and don'ts, random tables, as well as, a number of other topics.  Everything you need in order to Game Master like a fucking boss!
Those who know me know that I love a lot of different systems and genres, old school and new.  While this book will focus primarily on fantasy - there should be something for everyone.  I love to meld genres, for instance science-fantasy, gothic horror fantasy, scifi horror, and maybe something for those super-hero western fans.
I'm not exactly sure how long this book will be, but my guess is about 64 - 72 pages, give or take a couple.  This will be an 8.5 x 11", black and white book with artwork."
But will this book simply be for OSR retroclones and Fifth edition AD&D? Well according to Venger On G+ today. 
"It's not strictly OSR or any style of play or system.  Mostly fantasy but I think roughly a fourth of the book will apply to non-fantasy RPGs such as Call of Cthulhu." 
Which is fantastic news as far as I'm concerned. Take a moment,check out the Kickstarter and get this one made. He's already half way there and you can help. 
You can find out more and pledge right over
