Kadomi reviewed Kobold Guide to Plots & Campaigns by Margaret Weis
Review of 'Kobold Guide to Plots & Campaigns' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This system-agnostic Kobold guide continues their series of books on RPG theory, with essays from experienced RPG designers. The subject is near and dear to my heart because I feel I could really up my game when it comes to creating my own adventures and campaigns. There's a total of 19 essays in the book, and all of them were interesting to read, if maybe not fully applicable to my interests.
My favorite essays were Choosing an Ending First by Wolfgang Baur, Beginning a Campaign by James Jacobs and When Last We Left Our Intrepid Heroes by Clinton J. Boomer. I really enjoyed them, because I think they will help me with setting up a cinematic campaign. I think I'll be able to take something with me from all essays. I also enjoyed that the essay on improv sessions is followed up with an improv style adventure. Nifty!

If you enjoy reading essays about pen&paper RPGs and are a GM, it's a great guide. I will have to check out the other guides as well.
