Good day, friends. I want to preface this review with the knowledge that I spent multiple hours writing what should have been my longest review ever, only to inadvertently lose the entire thing in the saving process. I will freely admit my editor warned me to write outside of the primary posting software, a warning that I nonetheless ignored and for which I thereby paid the highest price. So, I will do my best to replicate the review, though I admit the passion I had for this particular assignment has waned. Not because of the book itself. Dungeons & Dragons: Worlds & Realms: Adventures from Greyhawk to Faerûn and Beyond is a spectacular tome of information that dragged me kicking and screaming down memory lane. So, with that said, let me begin yet again.

Welcome to my newest book review. Or should I say deck review? Recipe card review? Oh, whatever. Here is my newest Dungeons & Dragons-related review! Here we have Heroes’ Feast: The Deck of Many Morsels, which is a big honking box of recipe cards, hence my pondering what to call this article (although, this card set was created by the authors of Heroes’ Feast Flavors of the Multiverse: An Official D&D Cookbook). Herein are 50 cards that cover yummy appetizers, sweet snacks, and refreshing drinks, all for your consumption before, during, or after a D&D game! Of course, you may find that some of these make the regular meal rotation, as a few are simply amazing!
