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

Game Wizards: The Epic Battle for Dungeons & Dragons | Jon Peterson

so-so

D&D truly changed the world of strategy and RPG games. Unfortunately, the tale behind its creation was not as exciting as it had been billed to me. I felt this book was a textbook-like retelling of facts to include annual sales numbers. The game‘s very slow build from mocked fantasy game to cultural icon is interesting. Overall though I just felt like something was missing…like any type of connection to the creators.

JoeMo There seems to be a market out there for this story , as I noted at least three recently published books about the creation of D&D. Maybe this is the kind of book and subject that fans of the game are ravenous about…and folks like me who have never played it….not so much 🤷‍♂️ 4mo

“He was a thief after all.”

Now I want to go watch the movie again!!! Fun book and added to the movie. Less about the characters though they were likable and more about the journey. D&D-like so it fits and I‘d read more! Good narration.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden (D&D Adventure Book) (Dungeons & Dragons) | Dungeons & Dragons

so-so

I am finally able to review this! I‘ve been running the campaign for close to two years now and we‘re going into the finale in July (which is not in the book). I replaced the Icewind Dale setting with Eiselcross from Wildmount. Nothing major was changed but I thought I‘d mention it.

⬇

PuddleJumper This cannot be run as written; it is a poorly conceived adventure and needs a lot of help from third party material. It felt more like random encounter after random encounter rather than a complete adventure. If you are looking for snowy side quests or ideas then grab a few from here and re-jig as necessary.
⬇ 6mo

PuddleJumper Ten Towns is problematic. I would grab either an expanded version of them or write your own as some of the stuff included in the book did not make sense or was unnecessary. Looking at you incest town.

The middle part has nothing to do with the main plotline. It‘s essentially a side quest to grind levels. The players had no motivation to engage with it. It was mostly dungeon crawls, fortresses, nothing unusual or special.

PuddleJumper My players had a lot of fun in Ythryn, though mine was Aeor and I took a lot of inspiration from what was done in Critical Role. They did not enjoy hitting specific locations to find bits of poetry. Again, they weren‘t fully interested in the plot.

PuddleJumper There were fun elements but get third party stuff to help restructure it and make Auril an interesting BBEG. Her stat block was a joke. If your characters are level 15 when they encounter her, she won‘t be a challenge at all.

PuddleJumper The art work was amazing. I loved flicking through this book because it was so colourful. It does add depth to a tundra/snow setting, the monsters are fun, and you can transplant the dungeon crawls into other settings. The maps were really good as well so the locations could be useful in other campaigns.

PuddleJumper I would definitely run it again but I would make changes before we even start.

Also, if your players/characters like animals ignore the awakened animals part because that is all they will focus on.
