A review by calypte
The Cleveland Heights LGBTQ Sci-Fi and Fantasy Role Playing Club by Doug Henderson
3.0
A group of young adults get together weekly to play D&D, a respite from their lives and loves: unrequited, closeted, or of unknown casual/serious status. Trying to figure out life is a whole lot more messy than casting spells against demon hoards, after all.
I liked this, I did - it was a quick and pleasant read. I usually hate romance, but that side is nicely 'real'. I discovered D&D myself during lockdown, and it's a fun take - you don't need to know anything about it - balancing out the real life woes.
However, it isn't wholly satisfying: I'd say only one character gets any kind of story resolution, the others - and several plot elements - are just left rather unfinished.
Full review, and me trying to explain the "I liked it but", is up on my blog.
