Addictive!
Tale of the Manticore is the ultimate mashup of a D&D campaign and compelling storytelling. Definitely intended for mature audiences. Jon does a spectacular job of weaving the dice-rolls into an epic fantasy adventure. It is clearly apparent that a tremendous amount of care, thought, time, and attention to detail goes into every gripping episode. Having never played a game of DnD before, but having grown up on a fare of RPG's and fantasy novels, I've been hooked! Jon does a wonderful job explaining how and why things happen without getting too into the weeds in terms of the rules. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in a land where chaos rolls!Read full review »
