Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!
Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.
In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.
The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

If you enjoy D&D...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

... then you will probably enjoy this.
To be perfectly honest (is there any other kind?) I never cared for D&D.
The closest I got was the World of Zork.
I saw this book during another search and it intrigued me enough to buy it without even reading a sample.
I enjoyed the book and believe you will too.
ps I've already purchased the next two books in the series. So I'll get started reading now.

A D&D-based LitRPG series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you are (or have been) a D&D gamer, and really enjoyed playing it, then you'll probably really like this series. Alas, I never was a fan of D&D. I tried playing with some friends for ~6 months, about 30 years ago, but I just couldn't get into it. I just didn't like D&D.

I like computer games, but not D&D.

Anyway, I didn't care much for this book for the same reasons I didn't like playing D&D. If you didn't, then you probably won't either.

As an aside, whether intentional or not, there is a "side story" that seems to relate to being "trans'. Again, I don't know if it is intentional, but there are characters who "get their gender mixed up". And the authors (inadvertently?) highlight the confusion some of the players feel when in a body that doesn't match their own sense of self. It is confusing for them and, I would imagine also for many readers.

While I have always been empathetic/sympathetic toward those in the LGBTQIA+ community, it helped open my eyes to a couple issues I hadn't thought about before, at least not deeply.

Regardless, if you like D&D, then I think you'll like this series, I didn't and won't be continuing with this series.

I give it a conditional recommendation (for D&D fans).

Very cool. Nice interaction with each character. Warrior learning not to rage all the time. Everyone learning their roles. Can't wait for the next book.

Failed Picked Pockets but passed the Stealth check. Fun and bring the popcorn.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

This steals from Norton's Quag Keep, and Rosenberg's Guardians of the Flame series as D&Ders are pulled into a D&D world. The authors get a pass for stealing from 5E D&D as they steal with permission some of the ideas. The gender swapping and conversions between real world person and fantasy person is occasionally interesting and occasionally boring. But it works.

Fun D&D

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

I always enjoyed D&D and this book shows that it could be fun to wake up in a roll playing game as a different person with cool skills. I liked the fighting and how it brought the characters closer and very much enjoyed the twist at the end. I am looking forward to the next book to see what other trouble they can get into.

Too confusing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

Constant mental flipping between reality, game-reality, and character personification. Seems like a great plot, with well fleshed out characters early on, but once they stepped into the game world it was confusing and eventually tedious to keep track of who was whom. The characters were layered too much. It was like, "that's george, but he's bob, but he's actually mary." Too many mental calisthenics for me.

Made a good change

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 8, 2022

This book veered off from the usual immersive (headgear etc) experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will get the next book as I need to know what it going on.

A fun little adventure

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

I found I rather enjoyed this, I even wished I was there with them. It sounds like it would be a great time. I would really like to explore one of these worlds, from within rather than from behind the keyboard. I never found people to do the pen and paper one for more than 1 or 2 sessions before they got bored.
