Ends too soon. Good history of D&D up to Gygax's death. Would have been perfect if it covered the orgies of the WotC era.
Loved the history of the game. The game-related autobiographical bits were okay. I didn't like the game demo parts and especially didn't like the fictionalized narrative describing the game demo parts.
This was...fine. I appreciated the threefold method of telling the story: the history of D&D, the author's personal narrative, and the “in-game” story. However, it felt like a stretch at times and was distracting and schtick-y rather than an effective means of storytelling.
I'm a D&D nerd, so I enjoyed most of it anyway. My only complaint is: what's this dude's beef with LARPing? The holier than thou attitude didn't fit for me.
