The Sopranos meets Dungeons & Dragons when the son of a crime boss accidentally becomes a crowdfunding superstar and disrupts business on the streets with his RPG.

Bill Schweigart (The Fatal Folklore Trilogy) game masters a crime fiction novel that will make you finally get that THACO LIFE abs tattoo.

Tommy Fugue never cared for the family business. But when his father--aka Big Al, aka King of the Denver Streets--assigns him the "summer job" of laundering money online, Tommy figures he can list some fake projects on FunFunder, pledge them with zombie accounts, and clean a dirty $20,000 in time for college in the fall.

Unfortunately for Tommy, he's more creative than he thought. Just as he's about to give his father's capos a progress report, he sees that a roleplaying game he mocked up using his mom's old artwork has been funded to the tune of $650,000... and counting.

The only thing scarier than an angry Big Al is a Big Al that smells cash and family bonding time. Voluntold by their mercurial boss to assist, various criminals and killers help playtest and produce Tommy's 1,000 Blades of Tergivers RPG in the hopes they can truly turn a dirty twenty into legit millions.

At first Tommy sees game sessions with brothel owners, hit women, and a street captain with OCD as yet another example of why he needs to get out from under his father. But when Tommy realizes that being game master might help him uncover what these criminals know about his mother's disappearance, it's Game On.

Playing a game while making a game is tricky--especially when elements of the fantasy world keep blending into the players' real lives. And when the streets declare the Family Fugue slipping, Big Al starts playing a new game, with rules only he knows.

De la mano de su creador, el método que ha cambiado la vida de millones de personas en todo el mundo.

Como la mayoría de nosotros, Ryder Carroll trató por todos los medios de organizar su vida: aplicaciones, sistemas, planes, calendarios, programas... Y nada funcionaba. Así que se puso a pensar hasta que dio con su propio método, un sistema que solo necesitaba papel y lápiz, y que era al mismo tiempo efectivo y poco estresante. Compartió ese método con algunos amigos y al poco tiempo este se había convertido en un fenómeno viral. Cientos de miles de personas en todo el mundo siguen hoy su sistema de organización.

Pero El método Bullet Journal es mucho más que un libro sobre gestión del tiempo. Es ante todo un manifiesto sobre cómo queremos vivir y de qué manera organizar los dos elementos más importantes de nuestra vida: nuestro --escaso-- tiempo y energía.

Un libro revolucionario que te ayudará a poner orden, sacar más partido a tu tiempo y alcanzar las metas que te propongas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the hand of its creator, the method that has changed the lives of millions of people around the world.

Like most of us, Ryder Carroll tried by all means to organize his life: applications, systems, plans, calendars, programs... And nothing worked. So he thought until he came up with his own method, a system that needed only pen and paper, and was both effective and low-stress. He shared that method with some friends and before long it had become a viral phenomenon.

But The Bullet Journal Method is much more than a book about time management. It is first and foremost a manifesto about how we want to live and how to organize the two most important elements of our lives: our scarce time and energy.

A revolutionary book that will help you put your order in order, get more out of your time and achieve the goals you set for yourself.
