David Ewalt recounts the development of Dungeons & Dragons from the game's roots on the battlefields of ancient Europe, through the hysteria that linked it to satanic rituals and teen suicides, to its apotheosis as father of the modern video-game industry. As he chronicles the game's surprising origins (a history largely unknown even to hardcore players) and examines D & D's impact, Ewalt interweaves subculture analysis with his own gaming experiences to shed light on America's most popular (and widely misunderstood) form of collaborative entertainment."--Publisher. 600 10 $a Gygax, Gary. 600 17 $a Gygax, Gary. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01925739 650 0 $a Dungeons and Dragons (Game) $x History. 650 0 $a Fantasy games $x Social aspects. 650 6 $a Donjons et dragons $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Fantasy games $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920843 650 7 $a Dungeons and Dragons (Game) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899493 650 7 $a Dungeons and Dragons (Game) $x History. $2 sears 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C27C2958214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
