pickGreat 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.

so-soJust finished this and it was okay. There were some really stupid plot points and decisions made but it was tolerable. This and the other two novels following it also seem to be taking place and are the cause of the events in The Out of the Abyss module. (My OOTA campaign is on a hiatus currently, but it's so amusing to me that my characters are unfortunately there to experience all of that mess)

Last week was very off for me. I got very little reading done due to fatigue and things out of my control. Made little progress with Archmage, and was too tired for any physical reads. I hope this week will go better.

🎧Archmage
🎧The Witness for the Dead
🎧Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
pickThis 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.
pickIt‘s neat to read this now that I have the 2024 ruleset to see what made it into the new rules. The chapter on « group patrons » was cool too for presenting ways to bring the party together rather than just meeting in a tavern ?

I am still struggling to find time to sit down and read WFTD, but I am aiming for next week. In the meantime I am continuing my Drizzt book binge, they are ones I can kind of zone out on and it wouldn't make much of a difference, so I listen to them when I play my fav MMO.

pickYou have to suspend your disbelief on this one. I did learn a few things in this book about dnd though (mainly geography). This is a good book, if it‘s a stand alone fantasy book. My favorite character turned out to be the wizard— Cazrin.
Honestly? It‘s pretty accurate.
If you‘re on the Fable app you can create a shelfie of 8 or fewer of your favorite reads from the year and they‘ll create a fun little graphic. “Chaotic optimist” is about right.
Finished making my personal storygraph trackers for #frozensick and #frigidwoe .
