Tired of spending hours preparing for an RPG session?

This book began as a series of blog posts at dicegeeks.com.

Provided are tips and advice you need to become a no-prep gamemaster. It is organized into three sections: Arcana, Three Keys, and Arrows in the Quiver.

The Arcana section deals with my history and struggles with learning how to gamemaster and why I decided to stop preparing for sessions.

The Three Keys section is the heart of the No-Prep Gamemaster. These short chapters provide the framework on which anyone can begin to gamemaster without preparation.

Arrows in the Quiver is a selection of tips and tricks that a GM can use at any time to cut down preparation time.

Explore more dicegeeks resources that help you cut down GM prep.

I love this! I had been drafted in to run an online adventure at a game convention recently at the last minute, and this was a lifesaver.

I redownloaded this doc today, and it looks like some of the text (mostly titles and section headings) is garbled.

What differences with return of the lazy dungeon master?

All random? Come on guys, it's something absolutely beautiful with a well prepared and thoroughly planned campaign or adventure. No tables can beat that!

To what extent is this guide primarily focused on OSR, dungeon-crawl style gaming? How useful is it for other sorts of games--say, if I wanted to run one focus on political intrigue using Fate Core?

I'd say the main focus is dungeon-style games. However, there are some key concepts that apply to other types of games.

I just checked and the preview is displaying properly. Please try it again. Maybe there was an issue with the site at the time.

No, as in, the preview doesn't actually preview any supposed content - it's just the cover, table of contents and a longwinded foreword.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
