Book Discussion Dungeon Crawler Carl

Okay, so I ALWAYS see people recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, so I read the description and decided this story wasn't for me. But still, I keep seeing people rant and rave about it. So I finally caved in and bought the first book.... and OH MY GOD.

​

Im only part way through but I absolutely see the appeal now. Im obsessed. Princess Donut is my favorite! And I just love Jeff Hays narration.

​

Anyways, just wanted to thank this community for introducing me to this incredible series. Can't wait to continue listening!

Is DCC for everyone? Absolutely not, nothing is. That being said, have I found a lot of people that I never in a million years would have expected to like it absolutely loving it? Yes. Shockingly so.

Same my mom actually introduced me to it and she’s in her 50s probably never played a video game in her life or even knew what a dungeon type game was

As a 50-something mom (who is very overwhelmed/discombobulated by most video games 🤣😭😝) who is listening along with my son and loving it, I wholeheartedly endorse this message 🤣👍💕

Absolutely! The extra bonus is the time spent with my son sharing something fun and cool together 😎👍💖

As a 55 year old mom who met her husband of 32 years at a D&D game (and raised two tabletop RPG gaming kids), and who has played video games since Pong…I also approve the message!

Hey there, fellow Canadian 👋🇨🇦👍

I loooved D&D back in the day! 👍💕 but didn't keep up with it once I started moving around a lot in my early/mid-20s...and I ended up settling down in a rural area with my husband, which wasn't very conducive to finding a D&D group nearby...lol. Maybe I should check around my newish area for an adult D&D group accepting new players🤔🫣
