This new book does not make the original Lazy Dungeon Master obsolete. The original book is still a perfectly useful way to get more out of your fantasy roleplaying game by preparing less. If you haven't purchased either, consider starting with the updated Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. Buy the Audiobook 1 credit. You love Dungeons and Dragons. As an experienced dungeon master you've run dozens, if not hundreds of games.
You put a lot of work into making your games great. What if there's another way to look at how you prepare your game? What if it turned out you could spend less time, less energy, and have a better game as a result? Want more details? This package contains four different versions of the book, all DRM free, for you to use on just about any device you have.
This package includes the following four formats:. I think your current chapter, "Select your Monsters", could be slightly expanded to say "Select your Obstacles".
The idea is, instead of already gearing yourself towards creating a combat encounter, you spend that same energy creating obstacles for the party to overcome, of which combat with monsters is one part. This allows you to add elements like traps, puzzles, or key social encounters or exploration elements with the Lazy Dungeon Master mentality. Even the DM's guide references the fact that not all encounters need to be combat encounters, so the change would allow our prep efforts to reflect it.
A completely reasonable change. One of the things I highly recommend is to tune the checklist to fit your own style and game. I agree completely! As GM you don't have to wait for me to say "roll initiative" to start encountering challenges.
I get bored in games where the only time the group leans into the table is when combat starts. Danielle G. Absolutely necessary and incredibly helpful. Great stuff! Ben N. Really good, step by step how to gm, I've been gaming regularly for 35 years and I was able to take a lot of value from it.
It fills the space between the "i can wing the session entirely" and the "i have hours of prep for every hou [ Rob F. A really good book by Mike. To the point and good examples. This really helped me "get my act together". Not that it was that bad, but really helpful points to prep more efficiently and save myself some time and nerves. It also made me feel [ Saif A. This is fantastic.
But beware, in one read-through, you won't incorporate the suggestions here. There is still talent needed, and this particular book does not help on improving your creativity, but rather a checklist of all things one needs to do [ I use this book every single week while planning my sessions.

Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.
However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book.
We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books.
Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality. File Last Updated:. This title was added to our catalog on September 06, Publisher Average Rating. See All Reviews.
