Fantastic Descriptions provides guides, tools, and resources for game masters to raise the level of their narrative storytelling and bring a deeper level of immersion and engagement to their players.
Regardless of your preferred rule system or edition, Fantastic Descriptions seeks to help you on your quest to become a great GM. Our first book, How to Describe Everything: A Guide to Narrative Storytelling for GMs, will be out in 2021. We also will be producing a podcast and YouTube channel to present some of these techniques and approaches, as well as discuss other ways to improve your narrative skills.
