OSR Review & Commentary On Play Like A F*cking Boss By Venger Satanis From Kort'thalis Publishing

 "Once you get your slimy tentacles on Play Like A Fucking Boss, roleplaying your character will never be the same...

If the chief aim of RPGs is to create immersion, then taking a handful of numbers and stats from a character sheet into a dungeon isn't going to cut it. Not by a long shot, hoss."

"The PC you've generated (or were handed before the game) is a cardboard stand-in for any actual characterization that might have take place. When it comes to your one job at the table, play like a fucking boss!" 





Venger Satanis ran a new Kickstarter for Play Like A F*cking Boss a month or so ago. And it's now appearing on Drivethrurpg coming up this week.  Play Like A F*cking Boss By Venger Satanis is a DM book right from outta of the gate. Believe it or not the book & advice is solidly done. The book has tons of advice for the DM or players to take agency with their rpg games. This advice goes through a process of walking the DM step by step through how to run their games better, faster, and to get their campaigns to last longer. The advice takes the form of hands on and process for the dungeon master to move their individual adventures and campaigns forward! 









 Play Like A F*cking Boss By Venger Satanis moves the DM into the slot of the  adventure space & the look as well as the feel of a Gonzo campaign. He walks the DM through step by step adventure creation to get the maximum amount of coverage for their setting. There's lots of advice on tons of getting into players deep into the immersion of their games. This is done through examples, walking the players through the campaign steps, and more.  Lots of this advice what we see in Venger Satanis's Cha'alt. 










 Play Like A F*cking Boss By Venger Satanis has solid writing, good layout, and really nice editing. The material here takes the players and DM into the deep end of adventure & campaign creation. I think it's a solidly done supplement & worthy of your attentions as an OSR player or dungeon master.
