The supplement Book of Storyteller Secrets was published the following year, a 64-page softcover book with a cardstock gamemaster's screen designed by Deird'Re M. Brooks and Ian Lemke, with illustrations by Henry Higginbotham, Brian J. LeBlanc, and Richard Thomas.

In Issue 11 of Arcane, Mark Barter saw several good elements in this book, but felt it didn't go far enough, saying, "There's a lot here to inspire the Storyteller, but not enough to run a campaign. It's good as far as it goes, but lacks depth." He concluded by giving it an average rating of 7 out of 10. [1]
