After a hard night's drinking, Tim and the Caverns & Creatures gang find themselves abandoned and left for dead on a deserted island. They soon discover, however, that the island may not be as deserted as it seems. In order to survive, they will need to search within themselves and travel to some very dark places.
This is a standalone story in the Caverns & Creatures universe. Give it a try to see if the C&C series is right for you.
Our favorite trapped in a tabletop game group plans to steal herbs a healer is growing and resell them for a profit. Cooper, of course, eats some, even though raw they are toxic. Trying to get Cooper to a cleric, Julian summons horses that cause the ground beneath them to collapse into a cave. Taking Cooper with them. Turns out it’s home to a giant frog creatures and he’s not taking visitors.
Nothing ruins a nice morning of binge drinking quite like the threat of being cornholed by stone giants.
My Opinion: 39 pages, $2.99, Not available on Kindle Unlimited
Dave, Cooper, and Tim are tricked through a magical portal and kidnapped by a giant who wants them to help his sons become men. Hilarious misunderstandings, innuendo, and bathroom humor follow.
Overall, a funny new short story in the Caverns and Creatures collection. However, for the page count, it’s just not worth the price of almost $3. I’d recommend waiting until the author includes the story in his next Caverns and Creatures short story collection.
Score: 7 out of 10.
The core gang you’ve come to love over the course of the last four books has broken up. Stacy and her brother Tim are on their own. Tempers flare when the larger group thinks Tim is trying to screw them over after a member of his group accidently steals the dice they need to get home to the real world.
What follows is a funny multi-narrative story where everyone is searching for TIm. People are forced to take sides and of course, nothing goes as planned for anyone.
One minute, they're drinking away the dreariness of their lives, escaping into a fantasy game and laughing their asses off. The next minute, they're in a horse-drawn cart surrounded by soldiers pointing crossbows at them.
My Opinion: One of my favorite funny LitRPG novel series. The world these guys are trapped in is kind of a D&D knock off, which I LOVE. There is a lot of cursing and lots of funny moments. The level of humor is on par with a Kevin Smith movie. The audiobooks are really good too.
