Do you play D&D or Pathfinder? Tired of spending hours preparing for an RPG session?

This book provides helpful tips, so you can become a no-prep gamemaster. It is organized into three sections: Arcana, Three Keys, and Arrows in the Quiver. The Arcana section deals with my history and struggles with learning how to gamemaster and why I decided to stop preparing for sessions. The Three Keys section is the heart of the No-Prep Gamemaster. These short chapters provide the framework on which anyone can begin to gamemaster without preparation. Arrows in the Quiver is a selection of tips and tricks that any GM can use to cut down preparation time.
