Reviews: Side Quest (1)
“A fun visual journey into the history of TTRPGs”
(Paperback)
Side Quest is an informative and historical adventure into Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) and the world of imaginative play.
I love that this is a graphic novel which helps to fully immerse you visually into the story. It was bright and colourful and captivating, really helping to kick your imagination into gear.
Both of the main narrators worked really well together to present the story and I thought both voices combined wonderfully.
This is included far more history than I was initially expecting, but I really appreciated such an in-depth look. I didn’t know a lot or really any of the further back history behind imaginative play and how we experience TTRPGs today, it was super interesting!
I particularly enjoyed Part Five “Magic In The Modern World”.
I feel this would not only be appreciated by TTRPG newbies but also just as much by seasoned players.
This graphic novel was such a lovely experience. I would definitely be interested in more graphic novels voiced by this duo, perhaps a full on beginner guide of how to get fully involved in TTRPGs.
Also shout out for the Gerard Way cameo!
