This handbook collects, for the first time, the state of research
on role-playing games (RPGs) across disciplines, cultures, and
media in a single, accessible volume. Collaboratively authored by
more than 50 key scholars, it traces the history of RPGs, from
wargaming precursors to tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons
to the rise of live action role-play and contemporary computer RPG
and massively multiplayer online RPG franchises, like Fallout and
World of Warcraft. Individual chapters survey the perspectives,
concepts, and findings on RPGs from key disciplines, like
performance studies, sociology, psychology, education, economics,
game design, literary studies, and more. Other chapters integrate
insights from RPG studies around broadly significant topics, like
transmedia worldbuilding, immersion, transgressive play, or
player-character relations. Each chapter includes definitions of
key terms and recommended readings to help fans, students, and
scholars new to RPG studies find their way into this new
interdisciplinary field.
