Media Lab Books released The Game Master's Book of Magic and Mayhem for Kids, and Kyle gives it five out of five stars. Despite the "kids" label, this is really an idea book that works for any age group - it just keeps the content appropriate for that sweet spot 10-12 age range where new players often start.
What's inside: NPCs divided into allies, villains, and wild cards (including an 8-year-old with a magical greatsword and Sissy Ontario, the urban druid). Random tables for taverns, locations, and weird items. A complete one-shot adventure featuring ghost pirates, treasure, dwarves, and a baby rescue mission. Plus traps, magic items, and maps by Czepeku with QR code access.
Kyle especially loves the random tables and appreciates having a trap resource since he admits he's terrible at creating his own. The art by Chris Seaman inspires you visualize these ideas within your own world-building. No complex rules here, only solid ideas you can incorporate in your campaign.

Nice. They scheduled them at a reasonable time for the rest of the world. And it’s on a bank holiday too, so I get to watch it 🙂
Honestly though I’m not expecting much from this year’s E3. What with all the leaks it hardly seems like there will be any surprises. I’m 99% sure there will be no new console announcements this year (the 1% is reserved for the Valve rumours I keep hearing about) and all the games look pretty boring (sequels to franchises that have been milked dry, yes I’m looking at you Assassin’s Creed). Still, it will be interesting to see if the Sony cloud gaming rumours have any substance.
Any of the Paranoid Gamer team going to E3? Would be great to get your opinions on what it was like.
Also, liked the newsletter (that was a pleasant surprise when I checked my email account the other day), good to see some new writers as well and the content updates are coming thick and fast lately- though I’m guessing this is partly due to E3… Anyways, keep up the good work.
Sadly we won’t be going this year. We plan on having a significant part of the staff going next year. The newsletter should be coming weekly. News posts should be coming at a steady rate starting this week. Got several new writers :).
We may not be there but we will sure be glued to our TV!
