Critical Failures Caverns and Creatures, Book 1 – TokyBook
Critical Failures kicks off Robert Bevan’s hilarious Caverns and Creatures series by throwing a group of friends into their own chaotic RPG adventure. When Tim, Dave, Julian and Cooper get magically transported into the fantasy world of their roleplaying game, these reluctant heroes find themselves improvising their way through an imaginary realm that’s suddenly real—and really dangerous.
Bevan’s fusion of razor-sharp wit with traditional swords and sorcery tropes makes for an uproarious satirical fantasy. The friends’ foul-mouthed banter and pop culture references clash delightfully with mystical creatures and deadly quests. Each bumbles through the bizarre land, wielding makeshift weapons and unimpressive magical abilities to side-splitting effect.
Nothing goes as planned, yet this oddball party perseveres in the face of exasperated NPCs and threats like vengeful druids and flatulent dwarves. Their continual hijinks skewer the clichés of both fantasy fiction and tabletop gaming itself.
Critical Failures launches a genre-bending comedy series that brilliantly balances parody with gripping adventure. Bevan’s quirky characters and absurdist humor provide endless laugh-out-loud moments for gaming and fantasy fans alike. This book will leave you eager to join the companions on their next disastrous quest.
