After a successful Kickstarter campaign in January 2024, raising over $450,000, the Tales of the Valiant Game Master’s Guide is on sale!
Whether you’re building a world from scratch or want mechanics for traversing fantastical realms, the Game Master’s Guide (GMG) is here to solve problems.
Do you have everything you need to play in the Player’s Guide and Monster Vault? Of course. They’re the core books for the game. The GMG adds to the core for advanced game experiences.
“Super useful book for both new and experienced game masters. Well laid out, well designed, making information easy to access. – Mike Skelly”
Pull It Off Like A Pro
Make GMing look easy with the tools and insight inside the GMG.
This is more than a normal guide to running a game. The Game Master’s Guide has thorough, detailed, and specific guidance on how to become a better GM. It addresses all aspects of the GMing process from out-of-game player relationships to how to prepare session notes.
A complete suite of homebrew tools to customize or create your own mechanics—from monsters to magic items and even PC options. The GMG even helps you with the math!
Keep your players invested. Raise the stakes and present new obstacles for combat, exploration, AND social encounters!
Don’t forget the massive reference tables and tools to help you run games with ease—like general-use random encounter tables, NPC generators, and expanded crafting options.
The Game Master’s Guide is the one-stop shop to take your table experience beyond basic games!
Download the Preview!
Not ready to jump? Download the FREE 10-page preview giving a peek at the book. This preview contains three Undead templates: skeleton, zombie, and dragon lich, and shows you samples of how they’re applied to normal monsters.
You can apply these templates (and a dozen more like them in the full book) to change a monster’s challenge or reflect its status in the narrative.
“Love the customization rules and monster templates . . . I spent my entire weekend just creating all new creatures to throw at my table. – Ryan Jackson”
Add the Map Folio to Increase Immersion
In addition to the Guide, try out the Game Master’s Map Folio. These twelve full-color locales are 24″ x 36″, representing a lot of places you’d want to put PCs—in the thick of it.
- Have them storm—or defend—the city gates!
- Climb a tower to look over the land!
- Fight to protect villagers in their own homes!
Each double-sided map includes a 1-inch-square grid suited for miniatures and tactical combat. And they’re specially coated for use with wet-erase, dry-erase, or even permanent markers—wipe dry in a moment!
