This book sounds hilarious. I’ve always been a sucker for fiction mixing the physical world with a fantasy world. Things like Joel Rosenberg’s Guardians of the Flame series, in which a group of D&D players are transported to what they thought was their fantasy world by their professor-slash-Dungeon-Master, who turns out to be a wizard from that world. Or Rick Cook’s hilarious programmer-oriented Wizardry books, where a programmer from Silicon Valley is kidnapped into a world of magic, and figures out how to put together spells like a computer program. Or Alan Dean Foster’s Spellsinger books, or Jack L. Chalker’s Dancing Gods series, or likely many others that I’ve forgotten. It would quickly pall as a steady diet, but as an occasional treat, it’s delightful.

I find the premise of this one slightly baffling though. In the many years I played, my D&D games never involved characters having sex with anything, including each other. That may have been influenced by the fact that I started playing when I was eight, but that can’t be the complete explanation because I kept playing for at least two decades after that (and likely would still be, if I knew a good group of players here too). The games I played in included both all-guys and co-ed, both in player and character, and players who were introduced to it well after puberty as well as before and during. But I suppose I can see how the game could degenerate into that sort of thing.
