A review by ruzgofdi
Blood Runs in the Family by Rich Burlew

2.0

Not a great sign when what should be the next step of an ongoing quest feels like a side mission.

It was during the run that this book collects that I stopped reading the webcomic. Having finished the book, I can't really point at any one thing that drove me away. Maybe it was the three month period where the creator was recuperating from an unexpected injury. Maybe it was a slight shift in tone towards being more serious in parts. Maybe it was the reason I gave at the top of this review. You sometimes hear about DMs that railroad their players to keep them on task for the adventure. This sometimes felt like the players were being railroaded into meeting some interesting new npcs the DM had come up with.

Still, when I got past the section I had previously read (which was larger than I thought it was going to be), there were some jokes that got me to laugh out loud. I don't know if I'll go back and get caught up on the strips that have come out between the end of this book and now, but I'll probably keep an eye out for the next collection.
