| Abstract
|
:
|
"This work explores tabletop role-playing game (TRPG) as a genre separate from computer role-playing games. The relationship of TRPGs to other games is examined, as well as the influence of Dungeons & Dragons as a tabletop module, a computer game, and a novel. The text also explores wider cultural influences that surround tabletop gamers"--Provided by publisher.
