Desperately Seeking the Amulet of Yendro

Alex enters a roguelike embedded inside the Tower of Gates VRMMORPG. If he makes it out by avoiding Yet Another Stupid Death, he’ll gain an epic magic item and rejoin his companions. Was taking the chance and going into the roguelike his biggest mistake? Or will playing bring him even further riches and glory? Find out in this first supplement adventure in the Tower of Gates universe.

YASD! Aaargh! If you loved Rogue, Nethack, or any of the other procedurally generated RPGs, you should grab this book.

Dungeon diving adventure with all the traditional monsters, shopkeepers, weapons and companions.

The story itself is decent aside from the combat which was generally repetitive and not exciting. The combat is written in gamebook fashion where each hit is described, there is a fight with a ghost that is particularly painful and long lasting; on the bright side the stats are relatively painless. The book ends on a cliffhanger. The companions in the game are really the best part and where most of the dialog is found. If this were read by a human using voices for the different characters it could have been much more entertaining.
