Dungeons Are Half the Game.

You can’t control what players are going to do. That’s half the fun. But you can control where they do it. That’s a whole other half!

The Kobold Guide to Dungeons gives both new and experienced Game Masters insight and ideas into making dungeons great. In-depth essays from industry luminaries teach you to think outside your own boxes, and into a larger realm of challenge, discovery, and good old monster bashing.

Practical essays gives you insider tips and tricks to:

-Design non-linear dungeons to explore
-Think in 3D to make amazing spaces
-Make every room count, even when there’s no monster
-Create solutions in addition to combat
-Dole out treasure—without blowing the bank

The Kobold Guide to Dungeons features essays from classic voices of the RPG canon such as David “Zeb” Cook, Frank Mentzer, and Lawrence Schick. It also includes newer voices including Dominique Dickey, Sadie Lowry, and Erin Roberts.

game Masters that need help

has it beginning game master? I found this book to be very helpful to understand the different genres and the differences between keeping a exciting game and a boring game

Almost gave up...

The first few chapters are essentially different authors all writing the same 'Chapter 1: Let's begin with what a dungeon is.'

I almost DNF until I got the Kesley Dionnes chapter, which was wonderful. After that, thought hit or miss, it has some quality chapters with actual practical advice.
