From publisher blurb:
Carl Gleba and Kevin Siembieda join forces to create a tour de force of information about Game Mastering games and creating adventures. This primer should help both G.M.s and players enjoy the storytelling experience of role-playing games, as well as helping them better understand the game rules.
