9780762756759I have no idea how this book slipped past me, but now I must have it. I’ve talked ad nauseum about how important gaming has been in my life, so I won’t bore you with it here, but damn, how did I manage to miss this? Check out the author’s website here. I’m hoping that this title won’t be marred with snark.

  1. Now I feel like I must have it. The axe looks so awesome and the attitude the dude holds it is like so awesome. :) Great book finding radar.

  2. Have you read The Elfish Gene? That was a decent memoir about a kid in the 70s UK getting into D&D when it first came out.

    • I read it, but I didn’t really care for it. I thought the tone was a bit on the mocking/patronizing side.
