Slaying the Dragon: A Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons

byBen Riggs

Role-playing game historian Ben Riggs unveils the secret history of TSR― the company that unleashed imaginations with Dungeons & Dragons, was driven into ruin by disastrous management decisions, and then saved by their bitterest rival. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives Slaying the Dragon a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the secret history of dungeons & dragons becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within business & economics and games & activities.
