7、wardIs Dungeon Mastering an art or a science? An interesting question!If you consider the pure creative aspect of starting from scratch, the ”personal touch” of individual flair that goes into preparing and running a unique campaign, or the particular style of moderating a game adventure, then Dunge
8、on Mastering may indeed be thought of as an art.If you consider the aspect of experimentation, the painstaking effort of preparation and attention to detail, and the continuing search for new ideas and approaches, then Dungeon Mastering is perhaps more like a science - not always exacting in a liter
9、al sense, but exacting in terms of what is required to do the job well.Esoteric questions aside, one thing is for certain - Dungeon Mastering is, above all, a labor of love. It is demanding, time consuming, and certainly not a task to be undertaken lightly (the sheer bulk of the book you hold in you
10、r hand will tell you that!). But, as all DMs know, the rewards are great - an endless challenge to the imagination and intellect, an enjoyable pastime to fill many hours with fantastic and often unpredictable happenings, and an opportunity to watch a story unfold and a grand idea to grow and flouris
11、h. The imagination knows no bounds, and the possibilities of the game of ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS are just as limitless. Who can say what awaits each player, except a cornucopia of fantasy and heroic adventure? So much is waiting, indeed!This book holds much in store for you as a DM- it is your p
12、rimary tool in constructing your own “world”, or milieu. It contains a wealth of material, and combined with the other works of ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (the MONSTER MANUAL and PLAYERS HANDBOOK) gives you all the information you need to play AD&D. But, as always, one more thing is needed - your i
13、magination. Use the written material as your foundation and inspiration, then explore the creative possibilities you have in your own mind to make your game something special.Dungeon Mastering itself is no easy undertaking, to be sure. But Dungeon Mastering well is doubly difficult. There are few ga
14、memasters around who are so superb in their conduct of play that they could disdain the opportunity to improve themselves in some way. Fortunately, this work addresses the matter at length, and gives you plenty of suggestions on all aspects of Dungeon Mastering (as well as some of the finer points)
15、in order to help you improve your own efforts. Take heed, and always endeavor to make the game the best it can be - and all that it can be!Mike CarrTSR Games & Rules Editor16 May 1979Original 1st edition AD&D Dungeon Masters GuideB.
