One bad roll catapults them into a new world...

Five friends, gamers for life, gather for their usual game night. Yet, when they use a strange new die they are transported to a fantasy world where all gaming ideas can come true.

Together, the party must join forces to deal with the vile Necrolord whose plans will not only threaten this world, but Earth as well. Should be easy for a team of adventurers, but when gaming and real life meet, there are situations which cannot be anticipated.

Will Samo use science to solve all her problems? Will Wyatt always resort to violence? Will Bourbon discover lost treasure? Will Falcon restore his kingdom. Will Melf, the bard, find his pants?

All questions and more will be answered in the Fifth Era Apocalypse! A new action-packed and hilarious LitRPG Adventure from Ryan Rimmel, bestselling author of Noobtown.

This goes right to the top of LitRPG comedy. Due to insomnia, I have many, many audiobooks, and RPG-style books hapoen to be my favorite. So, a gaming session starts, using the latest update of an old Tabletop gaming system. Think D&D versions 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4 and 5. The players get stuck with an oldtimer DM that has been running games since the 1980's. They are joined by a new player that has a magic die of some type. They all start at a tavern. The new guy rolls to see if he notices anything, and rolls three nat20's in a row. And then the world changes. That's chapter 1.

From then on, the players are their characters in this fantasy world. A vast amount of the comedy is Character driven stuff, due to being a minotaur, gnome, elf, barbarian, mage, thief. Many of them built character based on trope, but there are drawbacks with that. Many adventures ensue.

No cringe, fun characters, interesting villains. Highly recommended. One of the Top Ten RPG books.

Fantastically amusing

The Fifth Era Apocalypse system seems to be some mashup of D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2E which makes it more interesting.

The characters are a bit one dimensional in the beginning but they branch out a bit by the end. Looking forward to the tap dancing Tarrasque.

Performance was great but the story was just meh. It was derivative and predictable but it wasn’t bad.

Meh

If you’ve ever played tabletop RPG’s then you would enjoy this. Reminded me of a campaign I played. Decent characters and a lot of funny moments.

This LitRPG is for you.

Most litrpgs read like they are ment to feel as if they take place in a MMO. This story reads more like TTRPG including inside jokes, puns, meta gaming, taking turns, and all that jazz. .... I dare say it's similar to Drew Hayes NPC's if with a bit more crude humor heaped on top..

This story is fantastic. Pay no attention to the people giving this book bad reviews. If you like Noobtown, you will like this. The characters are real, have real concerns, and have realistic expectations of the 'game' they are 'playing'. Some of those are not met, and there are satisfying reasons why. Personally I enjoy Ryan's style and voice as he writes from the perspective of an older person who has a life outside the game, and needs/wants to get back to it (think Jim's "I miss my wife").

Don't come to this series, or this author expecting young protagonists, revenge fantasies, or harem. There is a solid story and realistic, relatable characters.

Johnathan McClain is a solid narrator and draws out the characters in a unique and believable way. (Drinking game... take a drink for every time I say believable).

This is a series and author to follow.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
