It’s useless info repeated

The guy just repeats the same thing over and over again. If you’re interested in writing your own TTRPG then you already know all this stuff. There’s no new or special information. There’s also a point where you can hear him mess up and do another take.

if you already DM or play TTRPGs, don't bother

This is not insightful for tips & tricks for new DMs. It is primarily a synopsis on what TTRPGs are, how they generally work, and some very very basic storytelling tips. If you are already interested in DMing, nothing this book will tell you will be new. This is for the parent trying to understand the strange hobby of their child.
