A nice coming of age story by a highly successful, lady gamer
2011/12/30
形式:ペーパーバック
I very much enjoyed Ms. Mazzanoble's Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Dungeons & Dragons: One Woman's Quest to Trade Self-Help for Elf-Help.
I highly recommend the book for anyone who played D&D as an adolescent or has kids that are playing it now.
Ms. Mazzanoble does an excellent job of recalling some of the humorous, awkward, and pure fun bits of her role-playing experiences, and, then, Ms. Mazzanoble rolls it all together in a series of credible and valuable life lessons starting with "never split the party."
While many of the books on the topic, e.g., Elfish Gene: Dungeons, Dragons and Growing Up Strange, trounce down a dark road of self-loathing and take some glee at lampooning their hobby, Ms. Mazzanoble points out how her gaming experiences were a positive influence that significantly helped her with life's challenges.
Much has been made of how role-playing used to be a male dominated hobby, and I found it refreshing to have "Everything I Need to Know ..." told from a decidedly well-adjusted woman's perspective.
As the father of two role-playing young ladies, one medical doctor and one chef, I found myself nodding in agreement with Ms. Mazzanoble's points.
Just to manage expectations for the would-be reader, this is not an in-depth look at Dungeons and Dragons. Ms. Mazzanoble tells a D&D anecdote and uses that as a springboard for broader topics like peer pressure, friendship and loyalty, and spirituality. For anyone who has ever played a table-top RPG, the connections are clear.
Well done! I cannot wait to get a copy of Ms. Mazzanoble's Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress: A Girl's Guide to the D&D Game (Dungeons & Dragons).
In service,
Rich

I feel like I just drank a +4 Potion of Stuart Smalley

形式:ペーパーバック
This book has just enough D&D to warrant the title, but it is more of the author's experiences and thoughts on stuff than a book about the game. The D&D references usually branch off into light-hearted (in a heavy hors d'oeuvres sort of way) examinations of subjects such as spirituality, commitment, and fashion. Often funny and always witty, it definitely touches on her relationships with others: pets, co-workers, her boyfriend, random psychotic children on Big Wheels, and, especially, her mother.
What gives the book it's real charm to me, though, is that underneath all of the humor, wit, and sarcasm, there is an honest examination of self going on in it as well. If you are interested in a well-written, funny book with a little bit of "self-help" sprinkled in, then by all means, buy this book. It is good enough, smart enough, and, doggone it, I think you will like it. Any interest you have in D&D will just be the cherry on top.

Coping with Life (and Well-Meaning Moms) in Game Terms

Shelly Mazzanoble's mom, Judy, continually bombards her daughter with well-meaning advice and self-help books. Said daughter, has other ideas on what's best for herself.
So the book is a humorous quest for knowledge our hapless author can relate to and more importantly, use. Topics such as spirituality, travel, fitness, cooperating with others, romance and even child-raising, are related to corresponding game techniques.
If you're a gamer, especially a D&D player, you should be able to relate to some of Life's dilemmas Shelly finds herself in.
