Rise of the Dungeon Master: Gary Gygax and the Creation of D&D by David Kushner
4.0
If you're not into D&D, or gaming, or anything like that, I figure this won't have much appeal. I played a bit of D&D as a kid, however, and now my teenage son is a dungeon master, so I got sucked into the history (and apparent mass fighting and unhappiness) of the game. I don't know how much of it is true, though either way it makes for an engaging story.
I don't encounter the 2nd-person perspective very often, though here it worked with good effect to make me feel like reading the book was my own D&D adventure.
The artwork to me was solid and serviceable, though certainly not exciting. The whole thing reminded me of [b: Tetris Games People Play|27414415|Tetris The Games People Play|Box Brown|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1456093370s/27414415.jpg|47463569], which I also enjoyed.
