New Acquisition: Designers & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons has become very familiar across the decades since it first appeared in 1974. However, it’s not the only roleplaying game by a long chalk and in the last half century there have been a multitude of D&D clones as well a vast variety of other games and genres. From science fiction (such as Traveller) to gothic horror (e.g. Call of Cthulhu); from superheroes to secret agents, there’s almost certainly something to suit any interest.
Keeping track of all that history has been made somewhat easier by a recent University of Portsmouth Library acquisition, Designers & Dragons by Shannon Appelcline and published by Evil Hat Productions. This four-volume set follows the history of games and publishers is an immensely readable and engaging.
