Welcome to Litsy!

An interesting read, with funny asides between Volo and Elminster. Some really creepy illustrations; well done!

I‘m pretty sure that last sentence should say “the most INSULATED level of the pyramid” rather than “the most insulted” 🤣

Great story of D&Ds history and hownit has evolved over the years to become one of the most widely played tabletop games. Woth a good bit of lived experience from the author sprinkled throughout.

This was a fun collection of bits and bobs. I found a bunch of neat spells that of COURSE my current character (a Cleric) can‘t actually use 😂 Also liked Xanathar‘s asides and the disclaimer on the copyright page.

A teen retelling of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Prickly Vi Reyes masquerades as a boy on an Arthurian inspired MMORPG to avoid bullying. Jack "Duke" Orsino is football royalty who starts playing the game after a season-ending injury.
We have a GoT style TV show, a sff/gaming convention, tabletop D&D, feminism, computer gaming and both characters growing in a realistic way.
I really liked all the characters (with a few obvious exceptions).

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.
