Sorcery! Vol 1: The Shamutanti Hills || Dice Friends 

The Adam-Paul-Beej trifecta is the perfect group for these books!

Yay! I've been looking forward to this one! "Adam reads a book" is one of my favorite genres of LRR silliness.

I saw it in the highlight reel but I was still wholly unprepared for the phrase "Dickensian Pervert". I have not laughed this hard since the great watermelon challenge.

"Hunger is just weapon degradation for your body" Paul

That payoff for the Princess Bride bit was amazing

You know the sorcery! Series got adapted into an app game if you ever want to try that out on your own time. It doesn’t have as much dice rolling but are pretty good.

This might be my favourite game book of all time. John Blanche's illustrations inspired me to become an illustrator myself.

The roaring gets louder *snore*

I’ve been pumped for this VOD since the highlight reel. Let’s go Adam, roll lucky

if you think a town named bryce is bad i live pretty close to a town called “brandon”

I almost wish they used the Baseball game from the Commodore 64 that the LRR theme got taken from.

Love watching you go through these. I never saw these game books, but definitely read the regular CYOA books a ton as a kid. These are just super fun to watch and make me wanna try.

Poor Ben. He wasn't even supposed to be there that day! XD

That might be one of my favourite bits they've done in the last few years! Damn, as soon as I got the ref, laughed my ass off Thanks to everyone that made it happen!

I really hope Adam does more of these.

These ones are my favorite, I hope they do it more often now

Grip it and I can not express this enough*Rip It*

At last, the books I know from this genre! I was able to pick up books 3 and 4 at my church's book sale when I was very young and it took years to track down the other two books. No internet and unable to drive made it very hard. I ran into every used bookstore my family came across for a long time. I loved playing them, but I never figured out the secret code in book 3 to 100% it. Even now I can remember the art of it and still don't understand the clue. This was delightful. Thanks gents.

I can't believe Analland has a King.

Sunless Sea has a great food mechanic as well. You have crew, food, and fuel as your resources but when you run out of food you can start using crew instead.

This has a phone app that is excellent! I recommend playing it on stream. It looks so good!

This is the crown jewel of LRR content for me.

These shows give me life! Work will be easy today!

Oh I cannot wait to watch this in full in a bit - love these books. I'm only 22 but I grew up on these!

So Beej is the most insane LRR member right?

Yes! Always love to see a Dice Friends, especially when hosted by a Dickensian Pervert :D Thank you Heather!

Haven't even watched yet, but I am ever so excited.

OMG every one of these is a great surprise !

They’re back! Always look forward to these reads.

Jerma just did a play through of the game version of this. Looked amazing so hopefully this is good too

I was also up since 5 that day… EST. also fell asleep during the stream, it was delightful. 😊

I hope the Eastern European voice never stops coming back.

Ah yes like Alice in chains said Man(tricorne) in a Box

I really want to know what happens in the end but I can't with the snoring.

Yay I've been waiting for another one of these!!! I love it thank you! Y'all rock

YES!

Assassin must have been the boss fight in this book, but rolling 12 Luck means you win. :)

Was such a great stream. Love you lrr peeps. Thanks for the hard work all. Takecare. Regards.

3:35 perfection

I do hope that the Adam plays the book series returns some day

Yesssss I love these so much

I have the second book of this series... someday I will get all of them... and actually play them

!!! These are my favorites! Thank you!

Wait Beej actually just fell asleep?!

oh my god i'm 30 seconds in but i LOVE ken griffey jr presents major league baseball

Adam should have locked Ben in with them when he came in tbh

DICE FRIENDS IS BACK

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I am so hyped for this. I love the Sorcery! series so much.

This series is my fave of all the FF books. Unlike the rest of the series these were targeted to 'adult' audiences and published under Penguin rather than Puffin. I find that means there is a lot more unfairness than the books written by (Sir) Livingstone. Whilst some items are really needed in later books there is less of a 'shopping list' than in things like 'City of Thieves' or 'Port of Peril'.

Delightful

Sooo... where is the next Sorcery! book playthrough? :)

Are there plans to play the next book?

Yeeeeeeeeees.

My favourite of the Fighting Fantasy Series, though this is a bit of a slow start. You don't really have a "mission" in this book other than getting from A (Analland) to B (Bridgetown*) and it rather feels like that. Book 2 (Khare, City of Traps) doesn't have the same feel though as it's more of a den of scum and villainy. * OK, Khare, but it is the bridge across the river, which is why you go that way

Beej snoring was obnoxious

I actually had to skip the rest of the video once Beej started snoring, fake or not it was making my skin crawl
