Valuable resource
The book is really well written. Sometimes I feel like books that are like this go into great detail focusing on examples too much. This book doesn't do that. It comes at you with some definitive ideas, then offers examples to help solidify. I can't stress enough how much those definitive ideas help.
I train animals and people for a living. One of the tricky things as a professional trainer is that you have to be able to understand how much the person knows, how easily they can learn, and how much to reveal to them to encourage them but not give them too much. I feel like this book captures that well where the author comes off as knowledgeable enough to tie several ideas together.
I would highly recommend this book for authors and GM's alike.
