How a New York Times bestselling author and New Yorker contributor
parlayed a strong grasp of the science of human decision-making and
a woeful ignorance of cards into a life-changing run as a
professional poker player, under the wing of a legend of the game
Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't
even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel - Poker Hall of
Fame inductee, winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings -
and asked him to be her mentor. She had faced a stretch of personal
bad luck, and her reflections on the role of chance in her life had
pointed her to poker as the ultimate master class in learning to
distinguish what can be controlled and what can't. Seidel was in,
and soon Konnikova was down the rabbit hole with him, a journey
that would lead her to the following year's World Series of Poker.
Then something extraordinary happened. Under Seidel's guidance,
Konnikova began to have many epiphanies about life that derived
from her new pursuit, including how to better read not just her
opponents but far more importantly herself. She found her way to
making better decisions and to a place where she could accept luck
for what it is, and what it isn't. But she also began to win. She
even learned to like Las Vegas. In the end, Konnikova is a student
of human behaviour, and ultimately the point of her incredible
adventure was to render it into a container for its invaluable
lessons. The biggest bluff of all, she learned is that skill is
enough. This is a book that will focus your mind and strengthen
your hand.
Defend yourself and protect your assets in a lair that feels as
real and alive as your monsters with advice from Keith Ammann,
author of The Monsters Know What They're Doing: Combat Tactics for
Dungeon Masters. The world is a dangerous place-especially when
you're up to no good. Whether you're a rampaging monster, a
calculating mastermind, or the current possessor of the Golden
MacGuffin, someone's going to come at you. Probably more than one
someone. You can't know when, but you can choose where. You need to
be ready. You need a lair. In How to Defend Your Lair, gamemaster
Keith Ammann pulls back the curtain on an underrated but crucial
part of any tabletop roleplaying game: the theater of battle. Say
goodbye to encounters in randomly generated dungeons and hello to a
game in which where the fight takes place is just as important as
who is doing the fighting. This book teaches you how to use
real-world principles of building security and area defense to
create strongholds infused with flavor, informed by narrative, and
complex enough to force your players to think strategically. You'll
look at the strengths and weaknesses of both defenders and
potential attackers, creating spaces that are strong enough to keep
out ordinary intruders...and to provide thrilling challenges to
extraordinary ones. Including more than a dozen fleshed-out sample
strongholds, How to Defend Your Lair is a crucial resource for any
RPG gamemaster who wants to push players to think about how to
solve problems before running at them head-on.
