I found the cutest board book for my grandbaby today. The artwork is incredible. And maybe I am trying to indoctrinate her a little. 😏

DogMomIrene Not sure where I found it, but there‘s a picture book called The Literary RPG, which is an alphabet book that‘s super cute. I sent it to my nieces and nephews, so no photos to share😔 1mo
bookishbitch @DogMomIrene oh thanks! I'll look for that one too! 1mo

Gave this a pick because of how beautiful the art was in this. Which is honestly the entire reason I picked this up. It was cool reading about the origins and history of D&D but the writing could be dry at times. Visually though it‘s stunning.

I am sooooo glad my library has a copy of this because there‘s no way I could ever afford my own copy. So I shall gaze lovingly at this until I ultimately have to take it back 😪

I really enjoyed this book. The history of D&D was fascinating to read and the countless gorgeous art reproductions just made it that much better. Recommended if you have any interest at all in RPG‘s or gaming at all.

HOT OFF THE PRESS! 🔥

400 pages of AWESOME! 😍

I've had this book pre-ordered since I first heard about it months ago! I love, love, love, fantasy artwork and Dungeons and Dragons has some of the best! This is a visual journey of all the D&D artwork from the first early days all the way up until now.

I am so jacked! Prolly gonna be spamming my feed with pictures of this book tonight - so apologies in advance. 😅

Soubhiville That‘s awesome! 6y
