"Explore the conceptual origins of wargames and role-playing games in this unprecedented
history of simulating the real and the impossible. From a vast survey of primary sources
ranging from eighteenth-century strategists to modern hobbyists, Playing at the World
distills the story of how gamers first decided fictional battles with boards and dice,
and how they moved from simulating wars to simulating people. The invention of role-playing
games serves as a touchstone for exploring the ways that the literary concept of character,
the lure of fantastic adventure and the principles of gaming combined into the signature
cultural innovation of the late twentieth century". --Source : inconnue
