The Lazy DM's Workbook

A few simple and helpful pages of tips and tricks with some shortcuts for generating encounters followed by some really nice map designs, great little book to inspire a beginner DM

This is a brilliant book really useful maps and info, just wish the name was different

slightly awkward size, quite floppy, but very useful for a new DM and for quickly thrown together campaigns

a perfect little workbook for beginners and long running dms.

Not going into detail to justify why - but never has there been a better 'bang for your buck' for a DM. Do yourself a favour and buy it.

Great breakdown of what is important for each adventure, which makes it easy to be flexible when your group railroad your adventure!

Some nice tables, but nothing outstanding.Some nice ideas, but no revelations.Few pretty raw dungeons.Maybe the expectations were too high after Return of the Lazy DM.

This is a companion booklet to the Return of the Lazy DM. I did not know this... Though I like the maps in it, content is good as is the advice.

Si eres un master novato, este libro te solucionará muchísima preparación para las campañas

There are so many rule clarifications that I found helpful. Book is 100% worth it.

This book (and the other of Sly Flourish) are helping me in very good ways. Less work, more fun, that’s the way to be a good DM. And now I’m taking a walk every day (ok, not every day) for half an hour. Good for my health 😊

Very helpful Tables and reference! Everything you could need for good "last time" prep or an easy oneshot. Make a perfect helper for long campaigns too when things go out of control and you need to improv. Excellent variety of hint and maps

Very helpful WORK BOOK.I capitalized work book because this is not a "text book," but a helpful "work book" for running your RPG sessions.Covers topics that are directly from Sly Flourish's Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master "text book."The guidance is straight forward enough to stand alone but is much better elaborated in Return of the Lazy DM. This work book hits the key points and helps to get your DM game on point for your next session.Yes, it's a small book (it's not the Text Book, just the addendum Work Book).Yes it has several simple quick charts for items like random names, traps, monuments, items, town events, random monsters and character connection hooks.It has a new challenge rating guide and tables that work with the new system.Yes, half of the book is used for lairs that could be added into any of your sessions. Example lairs are simple designs for a castle, docks, sewers, catacombs, a wizard tower and more (I enjoy the art work, with rooms or sections numbered not labeled so you can use them as actual maps in game). These are helpful and creative with little twists that make each location unique. They are all laid out so they can each be stand alone locations or can be connected to one another to create a complex labyrinth.I was a little disappointed when I purchased this book at first. The reviews I read didn't get it across to me that this is designed as a supplement, like a DM screen in book form, or Cliff Notes to review before your test (game session). Once I came to that realization, my attitude about it changed to being very pleased.I recommend purchasing the Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master to give you more understanding of the philosophy that this workbook is designed to guide you through prior to and during your RPG sessions.If you have read the Lazy Dungeon Master, is this workbook necessary? No, but it is helpful in the same sense that a DM screen is helpful even if it only covers the same charts that are presented in a text book.Would I recommend it? Yes, mainly to DM's but there are comments about approaching your session that would be helpful to just players as well. At the low price it's offered at, I would have no issue with recommending it to everyone.I have read several reviews that show the book was printed with poor quality. Mine arrived quickly and has no print or manufacturing issues at all.All in all, it's a very useful guide book.Let the games begin!
