Great book about role playing in games

Submitted by rpg games (not verified) on Thu, 22/11/2007 - 12:27.

I really liked that book. Many experts (games authors and scholars) discuss about roles and stories in game on multiple platforms. They look at how the player plays the role of the hero (or any character) and discuss about it. There were even 3 playable table rpgs in annexes, so it's a pretty complete book. Only problem might have been that it's only 400 pages, i would have loved to read more Smiling
