For Fans of Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons has maintained a lasting following over the years for its creativity, engaging gameplay, social interaction, friendship-building, and storytelling within a rich, lore-filled universe. Players form guilds to strategize, solve puzzles, and immerse themselves in a vast world of magical creatures and treasures.
This role-playing game (RPG) features a customizable tabletop board that can be expanded and adjusted to suit your story and gameplay style. Its core appeal is in communal storytelling, where players work together with friends to develop a unique, evolving narrative full of challenges and goals. Combat and puzzles offer chess-like, engaging challenges, while dice rolls add an element of chance, making gameplay exciting and unpredictable.
A significant highlight of D&D is the complete freedom in role-playing. The game provides a basic framework with limitless possibilities for imagination. Players can alter characters, classes, make their own decisions, and watch their plans come to life in real time.
So come on, stop doomscrolling and seek your fame and fortune!

Dungeons and Drama
Boyce, Kristy (author.)
Musical lover Riley dreams of directing on Broadway. When she takes her mom’s car without permission, she’s grounded and must work at her dad’s game shop. Wanting to avoid work, she convinces Nathan, a teen employee, to cover her shifts. In exchange, she flirts to make his gamer-girl crush jealous. Soon, Riley realizes flirting with Nathan feels more natural than acting.
Dating and Dragons
Boyce, Kristy (author.)
Quinn, a new student, joins a D&D group to make friends after transferring to a new school. She grapples with her feelings for a charming but annoying teammate and deals with drama from her ex-friends.
Dungeon Crawler Carl/Matt Dinniman
Dinniman, Matt, (author.)
The apocalypse is televised! A man, his ex-girlfriend’s cat, and a sadistic game show unfold—an 18-level dungeon from the collapsed Earth, filled with traps, monsters, and loot. It circles the globe, and once inside, there’s no escape. Each level has a time limit, and success depends on followers, views, and style, not strength. Survive big, fight with vigor, and build a following to truly win. It’s called Dungeon Crawler World, but for Carl, it’s not a game.
Delicious in Dungeon
Kui, Ryoko, (author, artist.)
Young adventurer Laios and his group are overwhelmed by a dragon in a dungeon, losing all their money, supplies, and a member. They want to rescue her but lack food and funds, risking starvation. Laios suggests, “Let’s eat the monsters!” as a solution, daring to eat slimes, basilisks, and dragons—none are safe from these dungeon gourmets.
