The Digital Age has created massive technological and disciplinary
shifts in tabletop role-playing, increasing the appreciation of
games like Dungeons & Dragons. Millions tune in to watch and
listen to RPG players on podcasts and streaming platforms, while
virtual tabletops connect online players. Such shifts elicit new
scholarly perspectives. This collection includes essays on the
transmedia ecology that has connected analog with digital and audio
spaces. Essays explore the boundaries of virtual tabletops and how
users engage with a variety of technology to further role-playing.
Authors map the growing diversity of the TRPG fandom and detail how
players interact with RPG-related podcasts. Interviewed are content
creators like Griffin McElroy of The Adventure Zone podcast, Roll20
co-creator Nolan T. Jones, board game designers Nikki Valens and
Isaac Childres and fan artists Tracey Alvarez and Alex Schiltz.
These essays and interviews expand the academic perspective to
reflect the future of role-playing.
