What makes it funny?
The party's private problems keep competing with its heroic duties. Wyatt is courting his own brilliant wife, Melf depends on seduction, and Bourbon has a smooth face to contend with.
The comedy at work
The college premise puts a familiar institution on the same list of threats as an apocalyptic enemy. The friends may know games, but their embarrassments and questionable judgment still interfere with being heroes.
Try this if…
An ensemble of gamers drives the action, with each member bringing a personal complication to the campaign. The appeal depends as much on the party's behavior as on the fantasy peril.
Good to know
This is book three of Fifth Era Apocalypse and continues the party's existing adventure. Johnathan McClain narrates the audiobook.
