How To Play Good

How To Play Good*

or

Tips on Playing Better

is a compiled volume of information for Players and Dungeon Masters which includes the best-selling ebooks I Want To Try - Tips on becoming a better player and You Can Try - Tips on becoming a better DM.

How To Play Good significantly updates and expands the combined best-sellers with all new material put together in this handy guide for your games!

There is tons of helpful information out there about how to be a better DM. Books, websites, blogs, Youtube video series, you name it. I've noticed, however, that there is precious little about how to be a better D&D player. The first half of How To Play Good addresses that lack, in a more-than-slightly opinionated way.

The second half is chock full of inspiration and interesting tips for DMs - ideas to help you have a better experience at your table, from player management to adventure design. You'll get dozens of practical tips to make your games better, as well as the theory which underlies them.

This book is based on more than 30 years of experience playing D&D and other tabletop roleplaying games, as well as observations about basic human nature and inspiration from such luminaries as Kenneth Hite, Robin Laws, Dawnforgedcast, Matthew Mercer, Geek & Sundry, Matt Colville, “DnD” and “RPG” on Reddit, con panels, and many more I can't possibly remember.

* The title is meant to be tongue in cheek. :-) 

If you'd like to have the original titles separately, here they are. Note: They do not contain the revised and expanded information in How To Play Good, and they will not be updated like HTPG will.
