Fantasy Role-Playing Games (TEFRPG), is now available for preorder!
Tracing the evolution of fantasy gaming from its origins in tabletop
war and collectible card games to contemporary web-based live action
and massive multi-player games, this book examines the archetypes and
concepts within the fantasy gaming genre alongside the roles and
functions of the game players themselves. Other topics include: how
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings helped shape fantasy gaming
through Tolkien's obsessive attention to detail and virtual world
building; the community-based fellowship embraced by players of both
play-by-post and persistent browser-based games, despite the fact that
these games are fundamentally solo experiences; the origins of
gamebooks and interactive fiction; and the evolution of online gaming
in terms of technological capabilities, media richness, narrative
structure, coding authority, and participant roles.
