Roll Big or Go Home: D&D and Me

From the author, Mr. Rio Safari: "[this zine contains my]thoughts on Dungeons & Dragons, including: my sordid history with the game, why D&D is punk, and a dorky exploration of game mechanics. Perfect for the nerd in your life, whether an aspiring PC or veteran DM." Yes, you read right! A D&D zine! This heavily illustrated look at the wild (and nerdy) realms of Dungeons & Dragons is hella fun and makes for an amazing gift for someone you love (to battle orcs with). Says Rio in the section on D&D-as-punk-rock, "I've regressed into my nerdliness enough that I forget one would think D&D is weird, or worse, uncool. Come on. Turn up the stereo and queue some Black Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio, and Manowar. Headbang along while you read. You're a bloodied dwarf in battered ringmail, defending your clan from an onslaught of creatures from the Abyss, flailing a gnarly magical warhammer into the maw of a tentacled beholder." Uh ... YESSS!! YES! YES! Ever since this little pup landed on the Microcosm Kansas loading docks we have been in mega love. Mega!
