Of Dice and Men: The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Play It
Description
This engaging history traces Dungeons & Dragons from its wargaming roots to its transformation into a defining force in popular culture and interactive entertainment. Along the way, it explores the game’s creators, devoted players, and the controversies that once cast it as a dangerous influence, while showing how tabletop role-playing helped shape the modern video-game industry. Blending cultural analysis, original reporting, and personal experience at the gaming table, the book offers an insightful portrait of imagination, community, and a misunderstood American subculture.
