The narrator of The Dungeon Master is a fourteen year old boy who is obsessed with playing D&D. The Dungeon Master is about a group of friends who play D&D. If you've never played D&D, the references will seem obscure and most of the plot will fly over your head. Unfortunately, their deepest wish will never come true.įair warning: If you want to truly enjoy The Dungeon Master, you will need some knowledge of D&D (a fantasy role-playing-game that can involve dice, modules, miniture figures, and an imagination). By reviewing this story I had hopes that his view on D&D would make me fall madly in love with the game, and make me beg my friends to forgive me for my past discretions. However, as I am person who still tries to find the good in the horrible, I chose to review The Dungeon Master by Sam Lipsyte. But to them I say: no it isn't awesome, even when the rules start to make sense.

My friends have tried to get me into D&D for years (I've lost countless hours to this game for all the wrong reasons), telling me how amazing it is once you understand the gameplay. I'm not going to lie and say I love Dungeons and Dragons (or D&D by those who love it).
