Our take on the Live to Tell the Tale: Combat Tactics for Player Characters

Live to Tell the Tale is a strategy guide by Keith Ammann, the writer behind The Monsters Know What They're Doing. It flips his monster-tactics approach to the player side: how to read an encounter, position a party, use actions and spells well, and survive fights in tabletop role-playing games. It suits players who want tactical thinking without memorizing rulebooks, and it pairs naturally with his monster book for game masters. It is a reading-and-reference book, not a game with pieces or boards.
