Über diesen Titel

To Sartre, Hell was other people. To the game designer, Hell is the game.

Damico writes games for a living. When called in to rescue a local roleplaying game demo, Damico is shot in the head by a loony fan. He awakens in a game. A game full of hackneyed tropes and clichéd plots. A game he was there to save, run by the man who murdered him just moments ago. A game that has just become world-swap fantasy. Damico, to his horror, has become the heart of the cliché.

Set on their quest in a scene that would make Ed Wood blush, Damico discovers a new wrinkle. As a game designer, he is a creative force in this broken place. His presence touches the two-dimensional inhabitants. First a peasant, then a barmaid, then his character's own father - all come alive.

But the central question remains. Can Damico escape, or is he trapped in this nightmare? Forever.

Wait, what? This is a comedy? Ignore all that. Death by Cliché is a heartwarming tale of catastrophic brain damage. Share it with someone you love. Or like. Or anyone at all. Buy the book.

Based on a true story.

As the cover suggests, the story revolves around an adventure as you would find in DND. The story brilliantly combines the tropes of tabletop roleplaying with a intriguing story and a humor that is delightfully eye-rolling and clever. To me, a highlight was the use of omniscient 3rd-person perspective, a rarely used format but here it was marvelously executed.

The narration is done well, though a couple of chapters have audio skips and the between-chapter pauses felt a little too long. That being said, it is well worth your time and money, I’m sure you’ll have as much of a blast as I did.

Wonderful on-the-nose comedic P&P Story
