Wed like to thank all of the people who came to the table with us as this book came together. Firstly, our contributors, without whom this book could not existyour passion, critical engagement, and enthusiasm for tabletop role-playing games allowed us to capture the state of the TRPG and together, tell a new story about what it means to play TRPGs in a digital age.
Secondly, wed like to thank the players and creators at all the tables featured in this book. Thank you to all of the role players who pulled up a chair for our research and generously granted permission for us to apply a critical lens to their fun games of Dungeons & Dragons . Thank you to the fan-artists, game designers, and podcasters who gave us amazing creations to enjoy and study. Special thanks to all of our interview participants who thoughtfully and generously shared their thoughts on creating, storytelling, and transmedia TRPGs: Isaac Childres, Nikki Valens, Nolan T. Jones, Griffin McElroy, Alex Schlitz, and Tracey Alvarez.
Thirdly, wed like to thank those who provided support along the way: Layla Milholen and the team at McFarland for their guidance; our peer reviewers for their comments; Zachary Dwyer for his transcription and proofreading; and Leigha Smith for her thoughtful edits.
Wed also like to thank the people sat around our own tabletopsour families and friends who spin stories with us: our partners in everything, Eva Grouling Snider, Jordan Blahnik; our furry friends Henry, Graham, Angus, Damon, and Ghost; and our own gaming friends too many to mention.
Finally, wed like to thank all of those who continue to create new and inviting tabletops, who continue to weave stories out of nothing, including all of those who will be inspired by the wonderful essays featured here.
On any given Saturday in the mid2000s, you could find Jennifer and five friends gathered around a dining room table deeply engaged in the adventures of her dragon-born sorceress Whisper and her companions Cuthalion, Maureen, David, and Fletch. Together they negotiated with orcs for the safety of the local town, played songs at the Foppish Wererat tavern, investigated mysteries in the town of Gateway, and fought evil along the way. Scott, the Game Master (GM), led their adventures in a world he created called Sorpreador and each session built on the story started at the last gathering. Their collaborative storytelling was guided by the D&D gaming system: a pen-and-paper character sheet indicated scores that affected how likely they were to succeed at certain tests of strength or will and the physical roll of the dice helped determine the outcome of the characters actions. The player characters (PCs) were physically represented by metal miniature figurines on a large physical game mat where the GM could draw outlines of settings with an erasable marker. Play was ephemeral: the text created by each session existed only in the memories of the participants, fading over time like those ever-stubborn marker lines on the erasable game mat.
