Synopsis

“The Critical Failures books are some of the funniest LitRPG books I've ever read.”
—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

They weren’t chosen.
They weren’t heroes.
They weren’t even particularly bright.

But they were assholes.

When a group of dysfunctional idiots gets dragged into a fantasy RPG, they don’t become heroes.

They become everyone else’s problem.

Trapped in a world of magic, monsters, and a game master who’s had enough of their shit, Tim, Dave, Julian, and Cooper have to survive.

Using the only skills they actually have:

Bad decisions.
Petty arguments.
Zero impulse control.

If you’re looking for noble heroes, epic destiny, and clean fantasy adventure…

This isn’t that.
Not even close.

This is what happens when the worst possible players get trapped inside the game.

• Party-based fantasy adventure… if the party hates each other

• Real RPG mechanics… abused in the dumbest ways possible

• A game master who absolutely will screw them over

• Crude humor. Offensive jokes. Zero heroic speeches.

They piss off everything that moves.
They fail upward.
And somehow… they keep surviving.

What if you and your friends actually had to live inside the game?

And worse…

What if you turned out to be terrible at it?

Would you survive?

Or would you be just as screwed?

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tim and his friends find out the hard way that you shouldn't question the game master, and you shouldn't make fun of his cape. 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. Tim now has the voice and physique of a prepubescent girl. Dave finds that while he lost a foot or two in height, he somehow acquired a suit of armor and a badass beard. Julian's ears have grown ridiculously long and pointy. And Cooper... well Cooper has gotten himself a set of tusks, a pair of clawed hands, and a bad case of the shits. He also finds that he's carrying a bag with a human head in it - a head that he had chopped off when they were still just playing a game. Shit just got real, and if they want to survive, these four friends are going to have to tap into some baser instincts they didn't even know existed in their fast-food and pizza delivery world. It's fight, flight, or try to convince the people who are trying to kill them that they don't really exist. Meanwhile, a sadistic game master sits back in the real world eating their fried chicken.

Présentation de l'éditeur

What if you and your friends got to live the game for real? What if you and your friends were assholes? After relentlessly mocking their strange new Game Master, Tim and his friends find themselves trapped in the bodies of their fantasy game characters, in a world where the swords, the magic, and the gastrointestinal issues are all too real. They learn hard lessons about tolerance and teamwork, and a new meaning for the term “dump stat”. Ha ha. Just kidding. They don't learn shit. Never before have comedy and fantasy come together so much like a train wreck, in which each train was carrying a shipment of burning dumpsters. You just can't help but continue to stare. Don't be the last of your circle of nerds to read this book. Shake the Dorito crumbs out of your neck beard, grab your large sack, and prepare to enter the world of Caverns & Creatures.
