David Ewalt recounts the development of Dungeons & Dragons from the gameΓÇÖs roots on the battlefields of ancient Europe, through the hysteria that linked it to satanic rituals and teen suicides, to its apotheosis as father of the modern video-game industry. As he chronicles the surprising history of the gameΓÇÖs origins and examines D&DΓÇÖs profound impact, Ewalt weaves laser-sharp subculture analysis with his own present-day gaming experiences to shed light on AmericaΓÇÖs most popular (and widely misunderstood) form of collaborative entertainment.
