About this listen

Swords.

Sorcery.

Dick Jokes.

Truly do the gods smile upon you, dear listener, for the first four books in the hilarious Caverns and Creatures series are now available in one audiobook set. Join Tim, Dave, Julian, and Cooper as they are thrown into a hostile fantasy world filled with magic and monsters, and ruled over by a cruel and sadistic game master who taunts and harasses them while he sits back and eats their fried chicken.

Having taken on the bodies of their fantasy characters, Tim and the others are forced to discover the answers to two questions that every underachieving lowlife who's ever rolled a d20 has asked themselves at least once.

What if you and your friends got to live the game for real? What if you and your friends were assholes?

Would you have what it takes to survive? The strength? The wisdom? The...charisma?

Do you have the dice in your sack?

It's like Lord of the Rings meets your mom in a truck stop bathroom, but even cheaper.

This set includes:

  1. Critical Failures
  2. Critical Failures II: Fail Harder
  3. Critical Failures III: A Storm of S-Words
  4. Critical Failures IV: The Phantom Pinas

Good story, some funny twists, I do feel like it grew suddenly in the 3rd book and became a bit harder to follow but not by a lot

Good story, some funny twists

I really enjoyed this as some light hearted wind-down reading/listening. The one major observation I have is that it genuinely needs 90%+ less references to genitals & toilet humour. It's not even limited to a personality quirk of one character but is incessant throughout and sounds like adolescent humour of a much lower age than I thought the characters were supposed to be, so it's jarring. It's to the point where I'd be too embarrassed to have this playing on anything other than private earphones, definitely not out loud. It seems to get progressively worse as the books progress. With that in mind, I have found a place for this in my low-effort listens library because I enjoy the story, core concepts and world overall, even if the language makes me cringe with unrealistically adolescent hammy bravado that perhaps should have been funnier than it was. I don't think they even count as 'dick jokes' as they're not actually setup to be funny a lot of the time, the references just dominate the otherwise good flow of the story.
