A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of Dungeons and Drama comes another gaming romance that's sure to win you over! Quinn Norton is starting over at a new high school and hopes that joining a D&D game will be the trick to making friends. The plan sounds even better when she's invited into a group that includes Logan Weber, the cute and charming guy she met on her first day of class. But this isn't your average D&D campaign-- this group livestreams their games and enforces strict rules: no phones allowed, and no dating other group members. Quinn is willing to accept the rules, even if it makes Logan off-limits. And she quickly learns that doing so won't be a problem, since Logan goes from charismatic to insufferable as soon as she agrees to join. As their bickering--and bantering--intensifies inside and outside the game, Quinn can't help wondering: Is Logan's infuriating behavior a smokescreen for hidden feelings? Quinn is risking it all, and the twenty-sided dice are rolling!

Dating and Dragons, by Kristy Boyce (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: After moving to a new school, a teenager develops a crush on a member of her new D&D party, which has a strict no-dating policy.

Review: This was a mixed bag for me. On the plus side, it has some great intergenerational family content and an easy-to-root-for couple. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday But, the love interest is too perfect by half and the main conflict in the story comes to nothing. So, this was an enjoyable enough way to spend a few hours, but nothing special.

Bookish Pair: Boyce‘s Dungeons and Drama (2024), which also involves teenagers playing D&D is much more successful

This one was also okay. Some sections went on too long, especially the third half of the book. The dialogue felt awkward at points. The romance scenes were cringey and the reasoning behind the streamed games felt uninspired.

I wonder if some of these spells are like a copyright infringement because “Magic Hand“ isn't exactly what Mage Hand is called 😅

A bit of a spoiler, I guess, so I will tag it as such. I am already having an issue with this twist, not from a writing perspective, but more because I have seen things like that happen way too often.

So this character is saying, how they wouldn't be streaming if it didn't get views, and expressing desires to make it as big as CR or other big/famous liveplays, and I just find that very pathetic. Because people who click on liveplays--

Doppoetry -are looking for entertaining 'normal' people who enjoy telling stories and share the love of the game and world with others. If you are only doing this for views, people find it disingenuous, and you would not get a lot of engagement with your liveplay. I would absolutely not want to watch a bunch of people who just want to be famous play any TTRPG. 2mo
Doppoetry I will forgive this as these are just excited teens, but man, I have dropped so many liveplays because they just want to imitate CR/MM and not put any thought into being original and different. 2mo
Doppoetry This reminds me of the time I was watching an OOTA liveplay and the game master upset a player on purpose by killing off an NPC they liked to interact with, and it gave me such a huge ick because they enjoyed how poorly that player reacted and then tried to laugh it off. and then they were like “oh my god who cares, no one watches this liveplay.“ like NOT ANYMORE my guy. 2mo

This was a cute one. I found myself invested in the storyline rather quickly. The grandma killed me, I love her so much. She might actually be the best part of the whole book. It was a fun story to mix up what I have been reading lately.

I didn‘t finish it in one day, but I did wrap it up this morning over tea. Just as good as the first, there‘s no connection between them (except a blink-and-you‘ll-miss-it cameo by an unnamed Riley). Quinn has baggage to deal with when she joins Logan‘s D&D group at her new school, and their brewing attraction could scuttle the whole game. Green flags abound in these stories! Just the pick-me-up I needed when the world is terrible.
