Introduction to XDM
This ain’t your mama’s sorry, saggy old adventure supplement. We’re talking the difference between ‘bad’ DMs and ‘wicked bad’ DMs. We’re talking taking your sleepy-eyed, hit-point-countin’, wait-it-out-in-the-middle-of-the-party players, grabbing them by the front of their stained T-shirt and shakin’ their world ‘til their dice fall out.
XDM goes beyond the rule book – way beyond – with advice, tips, techniques and ideas designed to take any complacent, sounds-like-a-stock-holders-meeting role playing adventure group and bust their game wide open. The text covers everything from radical theatrical techniques to working sleight of hand and how to downright cheat if necessary in the quest of extreme fun. Sometimes practical … sometimes insanely ridiculous … and always entertaining, XDM is the ‘Dungeon Master’s Guide’ for the rest of us … taking the performance craft of running an entertaining dungeon to the very edge!
Why would anyone write a book like this? Because when we see a poor kid sitting next to a D&D table with a half painted miniature in his hand we think what you think… this room needs lasers… big lasers, and possibly fire. In fact the next time we hear some thirty something guy with a plastic-slipcover character sheet try and tell us that D&D is all about “leveling up” we may just string him up by his Velcro shoelaces. We live in an age where pyrotechnics, animatronics, and the greatest illusions in history are ready to order from our home computers- and we say it’s time to use them. You see this ain’t your mama’s sorry, saggy old adventure supplement. We’re taking your sleepy-eyed, hit-point-countin’, wait-it-out-in-the-middle-of-the-party players, grabbing them by the front of their stained T-shirt and shakin’ their world ‘til their dice fall out. This is the Dungeon Masters Guide for the rest of us. And since you didn’t write it… we did.

*cringe* last paragraph, first sentence: “why would anyone _right_ a book like this?” Should be _write_.
This think looks sweet.
Opps… fixed it! Thanks for the heads up!
