Letters to a Young GM is the latest book of GM advice from award-winning author John Wick (Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Houses of the Blooded, Cat, Banners). In it, John provides his unconventional game mastering advice to both young game masters and those who are still young-at-heart. Looking beyond the usual topics, he offers not only tricks and tactics, but also inspiration to those who want to sit behind the GM screen, but are uncertain about their skills.

Captain Sylvestre de Greybagges is your typical seventeenth-century Cambridge-educated lawyer turned Caribbean pirate, as comfortable debating the virtues of William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, and compound interest as he is wielding a cutlass, needling archrival Henry Morgan, and parsing rum-soaked gossip for his next target. When a pepper monger’s loose tongue lets out a rumor about a fleet loaded with silver, the Captain sets sail only to find himself in a close encounter of a very different kind.

We all love monsters. We love them because they exist outside of our world and yet feel real to us. We love how strange they can be. We love the sense of danger that arises when we talk about them. We love how they live in our imaginations. And when monsters come to life in our imaginations, we love to face and defeat them. We battle dragons and demons and undead—and conquer them in tales we’ll remember our whole lives. Within the Forge of Foes, we’ll build these monsters. Here in the forge, we’ll modify creatures, giving them new attacks and strange new abilities.
