3.0

I would do 3.5 stars if possible. My general scale is: 1= hated, 2= didn't enjoy but finished or mostly did, 3= solid meh, finished or close and didn't specifically dislike, 4= enjoyed reading, 5= loved it. By that scale, I enjoyed some of these jokes, but there were also several pages at a time of "solid meh." The tables to roll for seemed like a great idea at the outset, (cheese related monster puns, sure, funny!), But then they included a d10 version of the pretty out dated "take my wife" joke. That was a pretty solid wasted page.

I like a joke book that someone who loves the topic can love, and someone only just interested in the topic can enjoy and become more interested. This wasn't really written for people just discovering RPGs, you had to already be a part of the niche community.

Nice premise, needed better follow through.

this was painful. i'd suggest it maybe for children, but it has a lot of dirty/raunchy humor too. did not like.
