Abstract

Book Review. "Role Playing Games" refers to a specific class of computer games. In the present book, the author gives a picturesque and engaging account of the roots and evolution of this phenomenon.

He specifically aims to oppose those who have construed that these RPGs are not mere games but that they actually contain a dangerous subversive threat.
