## Resource

Book club episode! We discuss Deathmatch Island by Tim Denee & Evil Hat. Read more here. As always participate in the talkback episode, either post in the discord thread associated with this podcast or write to thomas@rascal.news . Discussion Questions What do you think of Deathmatch Island ? What do you think of its GM section? Do you think that it needed a more robust GM section? Do you agree that the combination of a tight procedure and clear setting is much more robust GM support than any generic advice? What do you think of the idea of player advice? Do you think that there is the sense that "players don't read" or "players don't want/need advice" and that's why we don't really have a well-established format for giving that kind of advice? What's your favorite bit of player advice that you received within a game?
