I take gamemastering seriously. I've gamemastered half a dozen systems and read the manuals for dozens more. This book is hands-down the best tome on the actual art of gamemastering I have ever read. It doesn't matter if you play Star Wars or not, this book is about being a better gamemaster, regardless of system. It covers campaign design, adventure scripting, world building, description, mood-setting, improvisation, NPC development and characterization, managing player engagement (including fighting munchkinism), and more.

Not only a must-have tool for any gamemaster, I heartily recommend this for any aspiring novelist or screenwriter.

A great guide to game mastering in general. So much great advice. I am so ready to run some Star Wars D6.
