Campaigns & Companions: The Complete Role-Playing Guide for Pets by Andi Ewington, Rhianna Pratchett
3.0
Cute, silly, light giggle-inducing DND scenarios that pet parents are sure to enjoy.
I had very high hopes for this when I saw it had been added to Netgalley, but found myself a bit let down after I finished reading... which took all of 10 minutes or so (generously estimating).
The scenarios are adorable, and a few of them were sort of “ha-ha” funny, but I felt that it could’ve been SO much funnier if maybe some more time had been spent building the scenarios. It would’ve been better if they were lengthened and more detailed, instead of just a few lines with a goofy punchline. This book reads like a book of memes, similar to scrolling through an album of funny photos on Facebook. I don’t regret reading it, but I probably won’t read it again.
However, the cute scenes were accompanied by absolutely stunning illustrations, which largely made up for the writing, as far as I’m concerned. This book is less of a comedy and more of a gorgeous, silly picture book than what I had anticipated. Enjoyable, but could’ve been better.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book.
