Playing at the World by Jon Peterson is a fascinating and comprehensive history of the wargames that led to Dungeons & Dragons, and the early years of the roleplaying hobby.
I highly recommend it for anyone that likes painstakingly researched details about the world of games.
- KGIII 9y agoIt just so happens that I need to go into town on Monday. I'll stop by my local bookstore and see if they have a copy or if they can order it. That probably sounds archaic but I try to purchase all my books there. There aren't many local bookstores left and I'm partial to it, so I hope to help keep them in business. Much thanks for the recommendation. I've never read it and I am almost done with my current nightstand book. (Battle Cry, Leon Uris.) If they don't have it, they should be able to order it.
