For a taste of what's inside, Andrew Girdwood published a piece on 5th August 2018 noting: "As I recall there were a mix of art styles in the game, cutting between set scenes with higher resolution than the cosplayers suggest but with the game itself as blocky and colour as this lot.".

D&D mums are smart
I love this simple but effective comic from N00b Mama. It’s funny because it’s true.

Tabletop roleplaying is a great way to ‘smuggle’ in maths to kids lives in a fun […]
Marvel at Liselle’s custom character sheets

Imagine the skill it takes to custom design and illustrates a character sheet for […]
3D printed and painted dice tower is a thing of beauty

The actual intent, of course, is for players to drop dice in the top, for them to safely rattle down without falling off the table and into the dish below. This was a two-person job.
