The first volume of two in a new- updated edition of the 2012 book Playing at the World- which charts the vast and complex history of role-playing games. This first volume is The Invention of Dungeons & Dragons- which explores the publication of that iconic game. In this volume- Jon Peterson distills the story of how the wargaming clubs and fanzines circulating around the upper Midwest in the 1970s culminated in Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson’s seminal role-playing game- D & D. Drawing from primary sources ranging from eighteenth-century strategists to modern hobbyists- Playing at the World explores the origins of wargames and roleplaying through the history of conflict simulations and the eccentric characters who drove the creation of a signature cultural innovation in the late twentieth century.
