In this episode of Dungeon Craft, Professor DungeonMaster makes the argument that the most valuable book you need to read (or re-read) to be a better DM is Aristotle's Poetics. Through it, he argues, you will gain a much deeper appreciation of mimesis, catharsis, character, plot, and spectacle, all necessary elements in all forms of great storytelling, including roleplaying games.
