D&D at 50 Book Project

Over the past 47 years, the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons  has had widespread influence across games, media, and social play. In anticipation of D&D’s upcoming 50th anniversary, we are soliciting abstracts for an edited collection that will overview the game’s evolution, players, and broader sociocultural impacts throughout its first 50 years.
