Summary: Great Fun
Review: If you've ever roleplayed, think back on your first couple of adventures. Remember all the mistakes you and your friends made? Well, in _Another Day, Another Dungeon_, Greg Costikyan incorporates all the silliness and stupidity of an introductory session of D&D into a hilarious novel.The characters (quite appropriately) make this novel shine. In the adventuring party, you have a couple of quarrelling rogues, a dwarf who hauls around more equipment than loot, an extremely inexperienced mage, a drunken cleric, and (my favorite) a towering barbarian with more muscle than wit. Throw in a treacherous lizard man scout, a seductive necromancer, a slew of stuffy semi-retired adventurers who all seem to be based on Major-General Stanley of the _Pirates of Penzance_, and a few orcs, and you have the makings of a really funny read. Oh, did I forget to mention the centuries old all-powerful wizard (what adventure campaign would be complete without one of those)? Not to be missed is the evil elven crime lord (aww, isn't he CUTE?). The plot is straightforward enough. Timaeus D'Asperge, newly graduated from the local magic university, assembles a group of adventurers to tackle the nearby dreaded Caverns of Cytorax. Isn't it odd that in nearly every beginning adventure, there is a conveniently located dungeon filled with evil nasties, but close enough to town that the adventurers can be home by dinner? Anyway, the adventurers soon find that the treasure they bring home will cause them much more trouble than the Caverns. The whole town erupts as nearly everyone tries to steal the treasure from D'Asperge and his comrades. The book is great fun, and will be a favorite of anyone who has ever played D&D or the like. If you've never played D&D, or don't even have a clue as to what it is, the book will still keep you rolling. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't take their roleplaying too seriously. If you do take your roleplaying too seriously, might I suggest the 1982 made for TV movie "Mazes and Monsters" starring a very young Tom Hanks.

Summary: Very good fantasy-adventure book
Review: This book's a must for all who like fantasy adventures with elves-dwarfs-magic users, etc. Without being an epic adventure, the mix of adventure, mystery and humor makes the story more than worth reading.

Summary: Funny!
Review: Timaeus d'Asperge, a newly minted fire mage, is in need of building his fame and fortune. Sidney Stollitt and Nick Pratchitt, have a firm that deals in adventure (well, actually theft recently), and both need some money. Kraki, a barbarian warrior (think Arnold), needs adventures to spark epics sung in his honor. Garni the Dwarf likes adventure, and could use the money, while Father Thwaite merely needs another drink. The solution to all of their problems seems simple, an adventure in the Caverns of Cytorax. Along the way, they encounter trolls, orcs, a basilisk, a rather large monster named Rog, and evil bureaucrats. Their find of a large, valuable and magical treasure seems to put the stamp of success on their adventure. However, a return home isn't the end of the adventure; you see, their find is more important than they realize, and quite a few people are out to acquire it for themselves. Soon, marching in the direction of our heroes is an army of zombies, a shadow mage, a bunch of demons, a shipload of elves, a vampire, a lich, a crime lord, and quite a few do-gooders. It's going to take a lot to get our heroes out of this one. This book is quite funny! The book starts out making fun of over-zealous RPGers, such as when one of the characters carves up the legs of a table, in case there is a wand hidden therein! However, after these, the story quickly becomes a wonderful, and very funny, story. The action is non-stop, and the comedy clean and well written. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who like D&D-style games! Oh, by the way, the book contains numerous references to "greep." The references seem a little muddled, but I must admit to being intrigued....
