A collection of GM goodness


This book is a mix of various small articles, tables and aids that help GM solve most common problems in fantasy game - "Empty rooms worth describing" and "NPC Quirks" speak for themselves, but there is sooo much more to this small book ! Excellent value for the money, truly remarkable - no fantasy RPG GM should be without this gem.

Wonderful stuff!


This product not only gives a GM so much cool material to use, but it also gives an imagination a kick in the pants! I find that just reading through this has inspired so much more detail in my games descriptions and added a truly unique style to my worlds. Thank you to all who worked on this and a hearty 'Good Job' to all of you!

Terrific ideas and great fun


More fun than a blue glass bottle full of elfin nail clippings (p. 62, Unique Treasures).

More fun than a night at the Reasonable Kobold Inn (p. 23, Memorable Inns).

More fun than the Night of the Red Fireflies (p. 20, Unusual Holidays).

GM Gems is more fun than all these things only because it contains all of them and thousands more ideas on how to add mystery, humor, and magic to a lull in your game. These concise little ideas really are beautifully faceted gems that will add sparkle to any setting.

Great Product


This is a great work-up. Just the kind of extra detail that can make a good campaign into a great campaign. Kudos to all the writers.
