BEST COPPER SELLER --Awarded by DTRPG __________________________ " Wow! A serious MUST for game masters. This book has so many good ideas, scenerios and useful information that just one of the game campaign ideas/rituals is worth the cover price. Mage Gate [delivers] a literal cornucopia of mind candy. I didn't even make it half way through the book and I already had a dozen ideas for upcoming gaming sessions. "The book [is] easy to follow and digest . If you're a GM and are struggling for new hooks and ideas to add flavor to your current campaign, or need ideas for future campaigns, this book will help out!

Overall, I found this book enjoyable and agree with the authors that these options are " plug and play "... this is a useful resource for both player and DM's.
