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. Meanwhile, a sadistic game master sits back in the real world eating their fried chicken.

Great premise, terrible execution. Unless you like 12 year old boy humor. I don't know why I bothered finishing it, I disliked almost all of the characters by the end. Not a great start to a series if you ask me. But maybe I'm not a good target audience. Even though I play d&d, which makes this even more of a let down honestly. Go check out the other titles in the series if you want a feel for the humor. Hard pass for any more by this author.

Tim knew he was going to have to collect himself and get the rest of the excitement out of his system the best way he knew how. He'd throw up.

*Obviously. That's a normal reaction to stress, right?*

This may be the funniest book I've ever read. But if you had never played D&D, you'd be clueless! If you have played, pick this up!

Scott_BookInvasion The narration on the audiobook was so funny! Spot-on Orc voice! 7y

I never laughed so hard so many times at this audiobook. Crude humor among nerds is my kinda story! Loved it!

I would highly suggest that if you're the type of person who might enjoy this book- to get the audiobook version because the voices performed with these characters make the book even more hilarious!
