The Düngeonmeister beckons – will you answer the call? Throughout the annals of history, humankind has been fascinated with the collective banishment of ignorance. Libraries are as old as antiquity; conversations even older. Even now, you’re reading a review of a book, hoping to learn whether it’s worth your time to pick up or not, on a machine that is – and contains! – the result of millennia of human knowledge and collaboration. That book, too, is a work of enrichment for the human mind.
The Düngeonmeister Book of RPG Trivia
The Düngeonmeister Book of RPG Trivia, a trivia book authored by Jef Aldrich and Jon Taylor, contains over 400 trivia questions meant to test even the most roleplay-savvy masters of gaming. From questions about Dungeons & Dragons to metaknowledge questions about all manner of systems and their rich histories, this book is the combined efforts of not only Aldrich and Taylor but all the Game Masters who came before them.
