Roll with Advantage: Creative, Collaborative, and Critical Responses to Dungeons & Dragons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781257695874)

Roll with Advantage: Creative, Collaborative, and Critical Responses to Dungeons & Dragons is an interdisciplinary, multi-genre, mixed-form anthology featuring poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, personal essays, interviews, and analytical scholarship about and inspired by D&D-the game, the legends, the media, and the people. The book is a playful, imaginative, and critical response to D&D's pop cultural renaissance, particularly during and after the global pandemic, with its appearances on television shows like Stranger Things, Community, and The Big Bang Theory, celebrity players like Vin Diesel, Deborah Ann Woll, Tim Duncan, Stephen Colbert, even Dame Judi Dench, as well as the growing popularity of actual play shows like Critical Role and Dimension 20. Roll with Advantage gathers multiple voices, new and old, and cutting-edge perspectives to explore: D&D and narrative, storytelling, and worldbuilding; the relationships between D&D and players, characters, game masters, and gaming communities; and the intersection of D&D and gender, race, queerness, intertextuality, language, material culture, nostalgia, affect, pedagogy, and more.
