Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
An official Dungeons & Dragons journal featuring 365 writing prompts to help role-players of all levels get their creative juices flowing. Building something from scratch is exciting, but it can also be a challenge. Within this journal lie 365 prompts to help you start your journey. Every page will steer you to strengthening the details of your world, whether you're playing within the vast Dungeons & Dragons cosmos or creating a landscape of your own design. You'll encounter insightful questions that encourage you to delve deep into the backstories of your characters and their enemies, and what drives them to a life of adventure. You'll also see prompts that reference D&D myths and legends, some familiar and others more obscure. Answer them as best you can or let them be the spark that starts your journey into the endless realms of D&D lore. Above all, this guided journal, like D&D itself, is driven by your imagination. There are no wrong answers, paths, or rolls here (though once the game begins there are no guarantees). Nor do you need to be a master storyteller, writer, or artist. You just need to aspire to create and have the courage to build something you may have never before imagined.

Game Wizards
Author: Jon Peterson
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262542951
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The story of the arcane table-top game that became a pop culture phenomenon and the long-running legal battle waged by its cocreators. When Dungeons & Dragons was first released to a small hobby community, it hardly seemed destined for mainstream success--and yet this arcane tabletop role-playing game became an unlikely pop culture phenomenon. In Game Wizards, Jon Peterson chronicles the rise of Dungeons & Dragons from hobbyist pastime to mass market sensation, from the initial collaboration to the later feud of its creators, Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. As the game's fiftieth anniversary approaches, Peterson--a noted authority on role-playing games--explains how D&D and its creators navigated their successes, setbacks, and controversies. Peterson describes Gygax and Arneson's first meeting and their work toward the 1974 release of the game; the founding of TSR and its growth as a company; and Arneson's acrimonious departure and subsequent challenges to TSR. He recounts the "Satanic Panic" accusations that D&D was sacrilegious and dangerous, and how they made the game famous. And he chronicles TSR's reckless expansion and near-fatal corporate infighting, which culminated with the company in debt and overextended and the end of Gygax's losing battle to retain control over TSR and D&D. With Game Wizards, Peterson restores historical particulars long obscured by competing narratives spun by the one-time partners. That record amply demonstrates how the turbulent experience of creating something as momentous as Dungeons & Dragons can make people remember things a bit differently from the way they actually happened.
