I think you’d struggle to find a more comprehensive history of roleplaying than this mighty tome. The story of every major publisher from AEG to White Wolf via TSR and Wizards of the Coast has been chronicled in impressive detail. This isn’t just a nostalgic look back on the highs of the industry it takes a look at the crashes, and also looks forward to those stretching the boundaries of the medium, either through the type of games they’re creating or the method they take in creation, distribution and development.
