"The definitive history of the invention of D&amp;D"--

The second volume of two in a new, updated edition of the 2012 book Playing at the World, which charts the vast and complex history of role-playing games. This new edition of Playing at the World is the second of two volumes that update the 720-page original tome of the same name from 2012. This second volume is The Three Pillars of Role-Playing Games, a deep dive into the history of the setting, system, and characters of Dungeons &amp; Dragons—the three pillars indicated by the volume’s title. (The first volume of the new edition is The Invention of Dungeons &amp; Dragons, which explores the publication and reception of that iconic game.) In this second volume, Jon Peterson covers the medieval fantasy setting—the first pillar—and addresses why the first role-playing game evolved around fantasy and medieval settings as opposed to some other historical setting. In the second pillar, the author explores how the rules of wargames, from their roots in chess variants from eighteenth-century Germany, developed into those of role-playing games. Finally, the third pillar focuses on character, perhaps the most elusive of the three pillars, and investigates how precedents governed the introduction of characters to games more so than the original D&amp;D rule books. Filled with unparalleled archival research (from obscure fanzines to letters, drafts, and other ephemera), this new edition of Playing at the World is the ultimate geek’s guide to the original RPG. As such, it is an indispensable resource for academics and game fans exploring the origins of the hobby.

Manchester Medieval Sources

Bishops were key figures in medieval European society, providing leadership to the communities under their supervision and linking day-to-day life to distant centres of political power and ecclesiastical authority. From the tenth to thirteenth centuries, dozens of bishops in the German Empire became the subjects of biographies, often written by people who had known them personally. Some of these bishops were leaders of armies and advisers to kings, and their biographies provide fascinating insights into medieval society and politics. They illuminate how great controversies like the Investiture Controversy and the Crusades impacted on and were understood in local communities, and offer a kaleidoscope of local detail not found in other source types. This book presents six such biographies, translated into English for the first time, each providing its own fascinating window onto local societies and their leaders. They show us how political conflict in its many forms - including law, family, warfare and murder - played a crucial role in this formative period of European history.

Edition Medienwissenschaft

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.
