LIVE TO TELL THE TALE Wants to Help Players Get the Most Out of D&D Characters This Summer
Live to Tell the Tale is an upcoming Dungeons & Dragons help book by Keith Ammann. This book is all about helping players better understand all the tools at their disposal and strategies to help bring down the fearsome monsters they’ll face. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about a book like this. I can see some merit, especially for newer players, in helping to show some basic strategies and other tidbits, but based on the description, it sounds a little too meta-game-y. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the application of what’s inside.
On the heels of The Monsters Know What They’re Doing—a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters based on the author’s popular blog—Live to Tell the Tale evens the score, providing beginning and intermediate D&D players the tools they need to fight back. Examining combat roles, class features, party composition, positioning, debilitating conditions, attacking combinations, action economy, and the ever-important consideration of the best ways to run away, Live to Tell the Tale will help you get the most out of your character’s abilities.
We’ll see what’s inside Live to Tell the Tale on July 7 when the book releases. You can now pre-order from a variety of retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
