Central library and digital smarts

Role playing
- The Roleplaying Society Essays on the Cultural Influence of RPGs
- edited by Andrew Byers and Francesco Crocco. McFarland, 2016.
This collection of new essays illustrates the broad appeal and impact of RPGs. Topics range from a critical reexamination of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, to the growing significance of RPGs in education, to the potential for “serious” RPGs to provoke awareness and social change. The contributors discuss the myriad subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways in which the values, concepts and mechanics of RPGs have infiltrated popular culture. -- From the website
