White Plume Mountain

What a fun ride.
This story is about the very best aspects of table top role-playing games - characters that have fun with real stakes on the line. Justicar and Estrella are brought together by coincidence and begin to develop a friendship through dangerous adventure.
This is not Shakespearian prose or storytelling that is deeply analytic of the human condition. Its just a fun romp through a classic D&D dungeon with characters that have just enough depth to make the reader care about them. Well worth the read.

This book is tremendously popular with collectors. It is the novel version of a famous D&D game adventure and was one of the first novels using the D&D 3rd edition rules as the foundation. Paul Kidd did a good job with the subject material, if well worth reading if you like game-based fantasy or just plain enjoy swords and sorcery fantasy in general.
