About the Book:
After being whisked from playing a tabletop RPG to living in the world of the campaign, our collection of middle school friends is starting to adapt to life in this world. They were clever enough to get out of the pickle they were in with Morgana and the iron Minotaurs. Now they have figured a way home, but they must convince Belnan’s brother, King Bardrus, to help them find the Wishstone. Hopefully Bardrus isn’t still bitter about Belnan’s past relationship with the queen.
Reader’s Notes:
The sophomore issue of “Dungeons and Dimwits” picks up right where the first one left off. We continue to get a great deal of action and laughs as the kids make their way through their quest. The story is very easy to fall into and it flows perfectly.
I would have liked a page at the beginning that included a picture of each character and a small nugget of information on them. The characters are written in a memorable way. That being said, I would be hard pressed to correctly name all of them.
The artwork on this cover is very entertaining. Belnan’s infatuation with Olympia could spell disaster for the party. Kodaris’s artwork on the interior pages reminds me of Brett Bean’s work in the second volume of “I Hate Fairyland”. They are both a brilliant addition to an already entertaining series. The facial expressions and situations depicted are hilarious. I loved the panels with the HP check.
“Dungeons and Dimwits” is a title that feels like it is written by a gamer and for gamers. This is a fun filled adventure that takes it to the next level. As a gamer and a geek on a budget, I would highly recommend rolling the die with this one!
