Publisher's Summary
Tim and his friends find out the hard way that you shouldn't question the game master, and you shouldn't make fun of his cape.
One minute, they're drinking away the dreariness of their lives, escaping into a fantasy game and laughing their asses off. The next minute, they're in a horse-drawn cart surrounded by soldiers pointing crossbows at them.
Tim now has the voice and physique of a prepubescent girl. Dave finds that while he lost a foot or two in height, he somehow acquired a suit of armor and a badass beard. Julian's ears have grown ridiculously long and pointy. And Cooper... well Cooper has gotten himself a set of tusks, a pair of clawed hands, and a bad case of the shits. He also finds that he's carrying a bag with a human head in it - a head that he had chopped off when they were still just playing a game.
Shit just got real, and if they want to survive, these four friends are going to have to tap into some baser instincts they didn't even know existed in their fast-food and pizza delivery world.
It's fight, flight, or try to convince the people who are trying to kill them that they don't really exist.

for nerds not high fantasy
This isn't a very memorable story. the characters have little motivation beyond living and while it plays heavily on stereotypes it does dnd well enough.
it was interesting enough to keep me reading. I kinda blew through it in a night i couldn't sleep while playing a game. I would recommend it for any really nerdy dnd players to get a chuckle or even thought of what to do if you ever ended up as your characters. but anyone that enjoys high fantasy would likely find this wanting.

Lots of nerdy fun
this made me want to dust off my old D&D books and start a campaign up. lots of detail to fill out the world. great performance from the narrator.

Homophobia masquerading as humour
The story had a lot of potential to be fun and goofy. It missed the mark.

For racists, incels, and garbage people
I liked the nerdy D&D, but the rest was terrible. 8 long hours talking about the poo, peppered with racist, homophobic, antisemitic, and misogynistic jokes. What the?!
Nerdom is, and should be, an inclusive space. This book does it a disservice.
