From the creative loins of the voices behind the Exemplary DM podcast (exemplarydm.com) comes a 50-page pocket handbook of Adventure Hooks, Encounter Ideas, and Character Concepts for tabletop role playing games that you can bring to your table, tonight!

Each gadget comes with follow-up text on how this knowledge has been applied to real-life campaigns, giving you both conceptual and applied knowledge of the concept, as well as a surface large enough to act as a coaster for two (2) cold drinks!

Bargain priced and indexed for quick reference, this gift is a perfect stocking stuffer for the aspiring or experienced Dungeon Master in your life.

The plot twists, encounter ideas and NPC/PCs concepts inside are system-agnostic for easy adoption into any game system.

Our 6"x9" pocket-sized reference book, with table of context and keyword index, is perfectly proportioned for:
  • hiding behind your DM screen
  • fanning the flames of creativity
  • literally fanning real flames
  • soaking up your player's tears
  • soaking up your own tears
  • stopping bullets!*
  • holding pastries
  • wrapping fresh fish
  • scooping up dead insects
  • protecting your precious wooden table from condensation
  • softening the thunderous impacts of your critical hit rolls
  • recycling into cookbooks
  • padding uncomfortable seating surfaces
  • gifting to a player in your campaign when you've used every gadget and watching in horror as they realize every plot twist came from a book!
*Will not stop bullets.
