From website:Written as a replacement for 101 Plots, and substantially bigger and better (in our opinion) we've ended up selling both books as they're both still very popular. 101 Patrons moves on from the style of 101 Plots, and adds a section developed by Andy Slack on the 36 basic plots (dramatic situations) you can have, along with some more detailed and expanded plot-lines ('elaborations'). There are also two sections detailing Starport Chatter and the enigmatically named 'World Seeds'. Of course, there is a whole selection of 76 Patrons style plots as well! The book has a gorgeous cover by Jesse DeGraff. - BoardGameGeek
