As a genre, digital role playing games have undergone constant and radical revision, pushing not only multiple boundaries of game development, but also the playing strategies and experiences of players. \u003cbr\u003eDivided into three distinct sections, this premiere volume captures the distinctiveness of different game types, the forms of play they engender and their social and cultural implications. Contributors examine a range of games, from classics like Final Fantasy to blockbusters like World of Warcraft to obscure genre bending titles like Lux Pain. Working from a broad range of disciplines such as ecocritism, rhetoric, performance, gender, and communication, these essays yield insights that enrich the field of game studies and further illuminate the cultural, psychological and philosophical implications of a society that increasingly produces, plays and discourses about role playing games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoshua Call, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Grand View University. \u003cbr\u003eKatie Whitlock, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre at California State University, Chico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 392\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 16, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46660731568340,"sku":"9781441195180","price":105.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2309\/8324\/files\/NTdIcXJ2OWpLUDNCMDlDd0sxOTNOQT09_88a803d3-88f8-4fe4-b1e0-3d0ed613213f.webp?v=1762288851","url":"https:\/\/role-players.shop\/products\/dungeons-dragons-and-digital-denizens-the-digital-role-playing-game-paperback","provider":"Role-Players","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
