GM's Tip of the Week

Read everything.

I don’t say that just to be funny, but in all seriousness; you never know when a piece of information might come up handy. History. Science. Fiction of all kinds. Read everything you can find on every subject that might possibly come up. Your stories, and your player’s stories, will benefit. Read poetry, song lyrics, art books. Get lost in the depths of Wikipedia. Visit your local library. Visit a few museums; see some history in person. Read books on military history, cook books, instruction manuals on everything from butchering to weaving to architecture.

Gaming is a strange hobby; having a broad education makes it more interesting for all involved.
