About this listen

Glenn, a college sophomore, hasn’t gotten used to being a gnome healer, trapped in a world that functions under the rules of Monsters, Maces and Magic. Of course, acclimating isn’t the plan. He, along with the other players drawn into the RPG world in the form of their characters, want to escape and return home.

Stephi, Kirby, Ron, Derek, and Glenn survived their first adventure into the Dark Heart Swamp and are approached to once again enter the dismal marshland. An elf maiden, daughter of a baronet, has been taken captive by a band of goblins, and gold is offered for her rescue.

Gold is needed, not only if the party hopes to escape the game world, but to live and survive its perils. Glenn and his party take the mission, even though they weren’t the first choice. Beyond that, the foul swamp and its evil denizen may not be the greatest danger. A seer warns that their greatest threat lies in betrayal.

Praise for Monsters, Maces, and Mages:

"Exciting and hilarious! It feels like a true game with friends." (Dueling Ogres Podcast)

“As compelling as any table-top or computer RPG, Betrayal’s thrilling action makes you want more; you won’t be able to put it down.” (J. Coon, professor of media studies/advisor to Gaming Club)

very much enjoying this series as it takes a lot of what references in tabletop rpgs and implements the well into the story the narrator does a good job making characters sound different as well. if I was to have a complaint it would be that the writer spends an uncomfortable amount of time referencing the figure of the female in the party.

enjoying the series but

This series just keeps developing and improving with time.
The performance is good with distinct characters and voices.

The story plugs along switching from in game to player perspective and interesting look at social dynamics and cultural stereotypes.
I like this book on lots of levels.

I found this second installment in the Monsters, Maces and Magic series to be both better and worse than the first book. The title, Betrayal, relates to a prophecy or prediction given to the group warning about betrayal. To be honest, there was so much else going on that I almost missed it.

The characters seem to be more complete and fleshed out in this book but one of them is still a pr*ck.

I'm not happy with the magic user gaining/channeling the abilities of the warrior monk that is stuck in some item she has. I would've preferred the delineation between classes remained. Also, the anatomy of the magic user (big boobs) seems to be mentioned a lot more than in the first book. Its almost a running gag now.

Also, they are progressing really slowly and have barely reached second level in this book. Either the progression isn't going to go far, or this is going to be a very long series...

Overall, an enjoyable read and I will be continuing the series.

I received a free copy of this book and chose to write a review.

Great storyline, I love that the author has given each of his characters challenges in there Roll Play world that will help them in there real lives (if they can ever get back to their true lives). There is also a good balance of game jargon so that one who is not overly familiar with roll play games does not get lost)

The Narrator is amazing and I will be looking in to his other works once I have made my way though this series.

Roll Play story for teens and up

DNF. The author is obsessed with talking about the female characters' boobs, it's constant and distracts from the main story. I thought he would have got it out of his system with the first book but definitely continues in book 2. What's also annoying is that the author keeps referring to the main characters by two different names interchangeably. I wish he would stick to either the real characters name or just their D&D name as it gets confusing. Also just like in book 1, I didn't find the story that entertaining and not very memorable.

I was given a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest voluntary review.
