With tongue-in-cheek humor, the creator of the award-winning Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress takes on the self-help section, proving that the benefits of the Dungeons & Dragons game goes far beyond simple entertainment. "Shelly Mazzanoble shows us 'how she rolls', by meeting her everyday encounters with self-effacing charisma and plucky fortitude," says Dan Milano, writer for the TV series Robot Chicken.

This was a good listen. The narration was well done, the story flowed well and was interesting, but I could do without most of the sidebars. I wouldn't say that I couldn't put this down, but I did blast through it in two or three days of listening, which is pretty fast for me to go through a seven and a half hour recording. Shelly offers an insight into a life I find difficult to imagine... who talks to their mom every day? But it was interesting to me and I think it does a good job of taking away some of the stigma that gets built up around tabletop role playing. She is someone who I can totally see at the gaming table, and at the same time a person who I would not expect to be a gamer. But such is life and gamers are found in the most unlikely places. I enjoyed this book, even though there were large parts I couldn't relate too.Shelly Mazzanoble does a great job of laying it all out on the table.

Most enjoyable was the lilting fun of the narrator's voice telling tales of her interesting life story, revolving around employment at Wizard's of the Coast and her Seattle relationships.
