I was flat out in awe of how the first collection managed to be a full fledged episode of Rick and Morty and a D&D adventure without losing anything from either. This second one left me less than starstruck, however. Part II nails the nihilism of the show better than the previous volume (which inexplicably had a happy ending where Rick learned a lesson somehow), but that's really the only thing done better. There's far fewer jokes here, and some of the dialog doesn't feel as spot-on for the char...
Rick makes a Wizard 5/Fighter 5/Rogue 5/Cleric 5, which is so suboptimal I'm kind of in awe. I hate to be all nitpicky, but Rick (whatever dimensional version he is) in the first D&D adventure was established to be a powergamer, and him making such ridiculously bad characters (besides the head-desk-y 5th edition one, there's a running joke of him having once made a bunch of AD&D characters with low rolls in their primary attribute) actually kinda broke the immersion. Who knew. It was fun enough
This was such a mixed issue. It started off so badly I was really uncertain about it but by the end I was captivated. Interested to see how Rick solves this one.
A fine continuation, but even with a teased third installment, I'm not sure where the story would go. That uncertainty is actually cool, since telegraphed sequels generally suck.
Fun book that pokes at all the tropes of D&D. The well-balanced character is crazy. It would also be challenging to play with a PC whose key class attribute is low.
Rick and Morty mixed with D&D is comedy gold!This time, in the sequel, Rick notices that the entire world has suddenly began following D&D stuff practically overnight. In order to find out why, he takes Morty to a D&D themed world, which happens to actually be Borden, a campaign world that Rick made when he was younger. In Borden, Bardrick and Sorcerick are working together, and they outsmart Rick, returning to the main world, and sticking Rick in the Tomb of Horrors. While Rick levels up immens...
I have never played D&D...anything I know about it I learned from episodes of Community and the first volume of this series, Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons.Rick was separate from the family for most of the story, which I do not particularly enjoy. This didn't feel quite as Rick and Morty-ish meaning there wasn't a whole lot to laugh at.
While much better than vol 1, with the coherent mostly linear story line it was hard to not be better. We learn more about Ricks early foray into D&D and the current family situation. It was a little sad to see Rick get a solo adventure while the rest of the family fights for their lives without his help. The resolution to the whole problem was uninspired though the plea for another D&D tie in was fun.
For a sequel it was good. The art was fantastic! I enjoyed the extra bit of artwork that was included, as well as the character sheets for the Ricks that appeared in the story. Speaking of the story it was alright. It was a bit slow to get into and a bit overly fluffed. It was a fun read, however; the first one is still my favorite of the two. I did like how the ending wrapped things up. I will say that while I enjoyed this series, I don't think I a third volume would be viable.Overall, it was a...
Waayyyy better than the first, really enjoyed it. Instead of being sent to a world of dnd, a virus of dnd comes to them (along with Rick's garbage characters). I just found the world being addicted to dnd to be amazingly fun, especially the merchandising of it! Haha
3.5 Stars
So I was hoping this would be a more direct continuation of volume 1. It isn't. From the cover, I gathered Rick would be an evil dungeon master. He isn't.It's still good though. A different kind of story from the last one that looks at the existential nature of forgotten characters that a player might make during their years of play. In Rick's case, well, of course there would be dangerous consequences. The explanation is a bit 'wha', but compared to some of the things that can and have happened...
Only for nerds, but gloriously for nerds!
I don't know why this crossover is so good, but it is.
