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.

"Your mum jokes" get boring real quick

This was recommended to me by a friend, but I've had to give up on it. The story is fun enough, and the performance is excellent. However, the crass jokes get old really quickly and I really don't want to hear any more homophobic slurs and mum jokes after listening to this for the 3 hours I did. I get that they're supposed to be edgy and nerdy... but surely they can have some more creative swearing?

Very funny - but to short.

Loved the book but full price Audio for only 6 hours of Listening is very disappointing.

Great fantasy read for teens and young adults.

The story built very quickly. It was exciting for people who have never role played and quite easy to follow. Would definitely recommend for the fantasy lovers.
