Take 4 college-age guys, who are kind of generally a**holes to one degree or another, add a Dungeons and Dragons-esque tabletop RPG, a new DM who takes the game far too seriously, and a set of magic dice, and you have a recipie for raunchy humor and misadventures of the highest order. One of the better additions to the developing sub-genre of fantasy in which people from our world are trapped in a world that resembles and functions like, or -is-, an MMORPG that I've seen in recent years. R. A. Salvatore's work with the "Forgotten Realms" novels it isn't, but enjoyable and bringing enough originality to the concept that I look forward eagerly to the next book.
