The gaming skills of the DnDoggos are tested once again as they battle Maxilla for a second time.
Level two pups Tonka, Pickles, and Zoey embark on a second tabletop role-playing game session led by Game Master Magnus. The three heroes must conquer complex rule books to acquire new spells and gain hit points while Magnus encouragingly aids the party in leveling up. When new feline friend Toast joins the game, the party gains a sorcerer who’s unafraid of casting risky spells from a book of Feral Magic. Pickles, Zoey, and Tonka (who uses he/they pronouns) will need Toast’s help facing the Dog Bone Fang Gang and once more defeating Maxilla, the evil mastermind who woke the world’s giants using the Ultimate Squeaker. Following the same format as the series opener, the gameplay scenes are differentiated from the tabletop scenes through contrasting artistic styles, a design choice that highlights the power of imagination to create full immersion when playing. Original creatures such as ponpons and camagoats contribute to the fantastical world in which the DnDoggos find themselves playing. Demonstrating gameplay tips, such as the “rule of cool,” creative minis, and the leveling process, this sequel educates those who are newer to TTRPGs while entertaining both novice and experienced players.
Creatively showcases the immersive power of tabletop role-playing games.
