Many of you are most likely aware of the book released last year titled “Dungeons and Dragons for Dummies”
Well, this year, the follow up book, “Dungeon Mastering for Dummies” has been released.
After a year of suggesting the first book to people, I finally ordered it along with the follow up. If I suggest it, I really should know whats in it. :)
I also want to point out, that candlekeep has a mention in “Dungeon Mastering for Dummies”.
I haven't read all that much, but I noticed it while thumbing through it. |

It's only a paragrah in a 390 or so page book, but...
The reference to candlekeep itself is on page 190.
The book itself looks good.
It holds many reminders for old time DMs and explains things to new DMs.
I still haven't read much of it, but it definitly feels "rules light" and focuses more on a DM's function which remain constant.

Rhe URL for candlekeep was givin.
Neato  .
This is bound to effect registrations here at Candlekeep, so we might want to expect a slight increase in new scribes coming to these halls.

Cool. I was pondering grabbing this just for the hells of it and I have a feeling Rich included the link, since he has threads here and for various other reasons. :) |

Not at all! This is quite a surprise  A pleasant surprise, at that I'll certainly try and seek this tome out to take a look.
Thank ye for bringing this to our attention, AlacLuin. |
