Master of the Game

Gary Gygax

I picked this up blind hoping I'd found an autobiography by the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, but alas, it was not to be. What it is, however, certainly has merit: a guide to making yourself into a better Game Master from a guy who's been doing it for pretty much his whole adult life. It's basically an inspirational-business title for gamers. (Think *The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Half-Orcs* combined with *Start and Run Your Own Money-Making Tavern*.) It gets a bit self-aggrandizing at times, which can be grating, but can you blame the guy? After all, he did write most of the early source material.
