Drachenväter: Die Geschichte des Rollenspiels und die Geburt der virtuellen Welt

This illustrated history traces the origins of role-playing games and virtual worlds. It follows the development from Prussian war games and conflict simulations through literary influences to the publication of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. The book examines the role-playing boom of the 1970s and 1980s, the emergence of the German scene, and the transition from tabletop adventures to computer-based role-playing games. It draws on extensive research, interviews with designers and other veterans, and archival photographs from the early history of the hobby.
