I caught this over on OgreCave: Paizo Publishing (the folks behind Dragon and Dungeon) have announced a new product line called “GameMastery” which will “help GameMasters provide a richer experience for their players while streamlining their setup and administration time.”I caught this over on OgreCave: Paizo Publishing (the folks behind Dragon and Dungeon) have announced a new product line called “GameMastery” which will “help GameMasters provide a richer experience for their players while streamlining their setup and administration time.”
So what does that mean? Well, here’s an example from the press release:
The GameMastery line will debut in the summer of 2005 with Compleat Encounter: Dark Elf Sanctum ($14.95), which offers GameMasters everything they need to run a complete short encounter.
That would be a huge time saver, though admittedly it’s something of a one-trick pony. Once you’d run the encounter, the PCs would be ready for it, but at the same time any GM worth their salt would be able to mix things up and use the resources provided in other, different engagements.
