I started this yesterday after seeing this forum. I finished book one and I’m fairly far in book 2. Easy ready, zany, and a page turner. Thanks for the rec!

You should. I’ve never been an audiobook guy at all but with this I couldn’t imagine just reading the books. The reading adds a lot

Apparrantly the author is doing a presentation and signing in Austin in February. Unfortunately, by the time I saw it, the tickets were already sold out.

I’m only about 3 hours into Book 1. It’s entertaining but I drift off with the descriptions of the weapons he gets and how they get used. I was never a video game or D&D guy so that stuff just doesn’t grab my attention.

And even with some of the fight scenes I just kind of vaguely follow along like that there’s some big trashy fat lady giant they are fighting and beating but at the end of the scene I couldn’t tell you many details about how it unfolded

How much of the details are necessary to retain to keep following the big story? His descriptions of the way it all started, the ex gf, the conversations with Donut, and Mordecai’s explanations of the world are more entertaining to me than the other actual game stuff.

They aren’t important at all! It gets less “statsy” as it goes along in the books too. Don’t pay any attention to carls dexterity going to 8 or whatever. Just pay attention to the loot boxes so you know what the spells and gear do, those are my favorite parts anyway. The author does a great job of explaining spells down the road as well if you forget.
