Customer Reviews
All content, no filler
I normally don’t leave reviews, but I am very excited to continue with The GM’s Guide after having listened to a few episodes. After the first, I was happy that learn that basically no time was spent on filler, intro/outro music and such. The next couple of episodes I had to note down, because I will need to go back and listen to them again - both for the great ideas that I’ll use as-is and those that inspired me as I listened.
