Easy to follow examples

The advice is quick and to the point. Examples make the process easy to follow. There are occasional microphone pops but is otherwise a brilliant help book.

Perfect advice for game Masters of all experience levels

As other reviews have said, there is certain material that the e book or physical copy has that is not included in this version (tables, lists, and various sheets for aiding play). For some of that the text is clear enough that you could conceivably create those items through careful listening, but don’t worry, those aren’t the real gold of this book. The real gold is the text itself, clear and well written, explaining the processes and procedures of good game mastering: how to make a ruling, how to run a room, and how to string rulings and rooms and situations together both at the table and before you get there to creat amazing table top role playing game sessions. Treat the audio book as if it’s a recorded collection of essays on game mastering, and you’ll find it satisfies almost all of your needs. Highly recommended

best book I've listened to for a beginner like me

I've listened to robins laws, and sly flourish, and a few other "beginner books" I won't mention, but this one gave me more help than all the others combined. probably because I'm new.

Must read for any Game Master

This is chock full of information and I recommend you get the print version of this book for reference!
