Natari (73 KP) rated The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in Video Games
Jul 15, 2019
I've replayed this game countless times. The storyline is fun. The dungeons are the perfect level of difficulty. There is plenty to explore. And when you can turn into a wolf you can just bark at people and cause commotion in town. There are also dogs you can play fetch with and cats to cuddle.

Map can be difficult to navigate
This game was absolutely legendary in helping to shape the course of video games. The ability to free roam the land of Hyrule was absolutely unheard of. The variety of enemies to fight and dungeons to explore were ahead of its time. The need to find items to be able to progress on your quest was absolutely innovative, but where the game suffers is the extremely high difficulty and the overall barrenness of the world. That is most definitely due to the limitations of the time, but the fact still remains that the majority of the map was pretty much the same. Overall its still a good game and an integral part of gaming history.
Peter Shephard (2821 KP) rated Lords of Waterdeep in Tabletop Games

Control of the city
Even for people with no prior knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons, Lords of Waterdeep is absolutely playable and enjoyable with a great theme and good rules; quick to learn and intuitive, after a couple of games the rulebook is barely touched.
For people with knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons, being able to play as one of the hidden Lords of Waterdeep feels very special; for those who know the Forgotten Realms well, it adds an extra level of depth (outside of the books and pages) to the City, and gives some inspiration for the sort of tasks the Lords may ask players.
The game itself is a worker placement, resource/recruit gathering, with a strong player vs Player element.
The core game is absolutely playable multiple times, and the add on (probably reviewed separately!) adds new rules and characters, but crucially is not an absolute must to get the full experience.

Crystal (9 KP) rated Fire (The Six Elements, #1) in Books
Jul 4, 2018
This is okay as a basic fantasy novel. One thing did bother me towards the beginning in that the main character classifies her and her friends as classes, like assassin, ranger, etc. and even in Dungeons and Dragons books they don't come straight out and name them like that, and it just seemed a little cheesy. Overall the concept is good, but the characters just don't grow nor did I become attached to them.

This wasn't the book for me. It's a cute premise, but sadly, it didn't hook me. I think it might be better for those that play games like Dungeons & Dragons on a regular basis. It dragged on for me. The illustrations are cute and colorful, and I loved the DM popping in and out to interact with the characters. I just didn't love it as a whole. Maybe you'll like it better than I did!

Awesome Free Game
This game is completely free to play, and its super addictive. The higher your level is the more game functions you have access to, so the game never gets repetitive or boring. Once you reach a certain level you can join an alliance and talk to others who play the game. The community is great, and most of the older players are willing to help those that are new.
When you first start the game your main goal is to go on quests in dungeons. Whenever you complete the required quests for a dungeon you rescue that dungeons gumball and add it to your collection. You then have the choice of starting the next maze or picking an endless quest. An endless quest lets you play until you die, and you might come across hidden gumballs in a maze.
The game includes a lot of different gumballs all of which have different abilities. My favorite part is trying to collect them, and then using them to reach higher floors in the mazes.

Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Constitution Check (Dungeons and Dating #4) by Katherine McIntyre in Books
Sep 24, 2022
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This is book number 4 in the Dungeons and Dating series and I have to say I have loved every one so far. The series is centred on a group of people who run a business called the Tabletop Tavern and have come together through their love of board games, particularly Dungeons and Dragons.
Each book focuses on different characters and their love life and life in general. This book focuses on Kelly who is trying to get over a domestically violent relationship that ended with the death of her then-girlfriend and Tabby who has never felt any good for anybody.
Katherine is an absolute wizard with words and you get a clear understanding of what each character is going through. She tackles the tougher subjects abuse/homophobia/grief etc in such a delicate but powerful way. It is a pleasure to read even though some of it is heart-breaking.
I 100% recommend reading not just this book but the whole series. Fantastic Katherine.

Huge world to explore. (5 more)
Play how you want to.
Loads of dungeons and raids.
Fair few playable races.
Good lore.
Room for a lot more expansions.
Can be repetetive at endgame. (3 more)
Has been known to have a large 'content drought' betwwen final patch and a new expansion. (Though this does seem to be improving)
Can be overwhelming for new players going it alone.
VERY disjointed story after the Catacylsm expansion (needs to update TBC and WotLk zones for a smoother experience!)
Easy to see why it's the most successful MMO
