Strictly Fantasy: The Cultural Roots of Tabletop Role-Playing Games

This cultural history traces the origins of tabletop role-playing games through nineteenth- and twentieth-century fantasy literature, fandom, and the Midwestern communities where the hobby developed. It examines the readers and writers who brought imaginary worlds to life, as well as the roles of race, religion, gender, identity, and capitalism in shaping these communities. The book considers how role-playing games combine limitless imagination with structured rules, placing the hobby within the broader cultural conflicts and creative movements of twentieth-century America.
