One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses by Lucy Corin

January 18, 2020 by plaidhamster Leave a Comment

I don’t know if I liked this book or not. When I started it I loved it. The three longer form stories that open Lucy Corin’s One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses are propulsive and intense.

For those unfamiliar, The Adventure Zone podcast or, TAZ as it’s known to its fans, is the McElroy Brothers, (Justin, Travis and Griffin) and their father (Clint) playing D&D. The story they create in the first installment of the series, Here There Be Gerblins, is yer basic go-there-get-the-thing quest. Standard D&D stuff. That is a woefully reductive description of a storytelling experience that was so magical that I wish I could erase it out […]
