Gitchegumi (28 KP) rated Dungeons and Dragons in Tabletop Games

Rather than running around the playground pretending to be heroes and making up the rules as you go, you sit around your table with a baseline of rules and develop a story with your friends. This game is a highly social experience as there is no requirement for boards and pieces. Everything happens in the minds of the players and dudgeon master (the person who moderates play sessions).
Dungeons and Dragons excels in its ability to create memories for a group of friends who enjoy playing together. I still talk about some of my favorite adventures with friends decades later. There is great potential for developing rich stories in which you and your friends get to play the heroes.
While there is potential for “home brewed” content, that is, content that is completely made up and written by the people running the campaign, Wizards of the Cost also generates fully developed campaigns. This is great for people who feel they aren’t creative enough, are too intimidated, or don’t have enough time to make up their own content. These adventures are very well made, so well that even seasoned home brew players will enjoy them. They go into great detail about the background of the story of the situation so as to help a dungeon master adapt when they players derail the adventure.
All together, this is a great game to tell a high fantasy story staring you and your friends.

Iron ( Rent a Dragon book 2)
By Terry Bolryder
A Dragon Mechanic? Unheard of.
Unless you're Magnus Ironside, a metal dragon who just awakened in the modern world and happens to be obsessed with cars and their inner workings. Add in the fact that his mate just walked in to hire him to work at her auto shop, and Magnus is one happy dragon. Now he just has to flex his pecs, show her his huge 'axe', and everything will work out, right? Wrong.
Lindy Dunn doesn't have time for a relationship, not while she's working herself to the bone trying to make ends meet. She doesn't have time to notice the huge muscles or gorgeous, jade-green eyes of the oddly sexy handyman she just hired. No matter that he's seriously good with cars, and fun to be around. With someone sabotaging her dad's shop, it's not the right time to fall into any man's arms, even if it's someone as capable as Magnus.
Magnus knows he can win over Lindy, as long as he doesn't move too fast with talk of dragons and destiny. The heat between them is too blazing to deny. But though Magnus thought he'd left the past far behind him, one big storm is still approaching, bringing a dark figure that threatens to destroy everything the iron dragon holds dear.
These 3 dragons are so growing on me! This was the story of Magnus and his mechanic mate. A very sweet story! I’m liking the idea of a melting dragon too he seems fun. It’s a very good Dragon shifter series.

The only people around the kids that can understand are their parents who have taken an oath not to speak of the magic. The conflicting powers fighting for control over the kids and their gift leads to more intrigue. I am still not sure who is good and who is bad, or even if there is a good or bad. Any book that has magic and dragons is always a good bet.
David McK (3547 KP) rated Dawnthief (Chronicles of the Raven, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The Raven of the sub-title ('Chronicles of the Raven', remember!) are a group of mercenaries who, at the beginning of the novel, have lived and fought together for years. At the end of one contract, they are hired by a former enemy, before events start overtaking them and they find themselves as amongst the last hope for their land, which is descending into war ...
I found this to be an OK read: not the best of such-like books I've ever read; nor the worst.
