A richly illustrated, encyclopedic deep dive into the history of roleplaying games.
In Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground, Stu Horvath (Vintage RPG on Instagram and co-host of the Vintage RPG Podcast) explores how roleplaying games blossomed into pop culture phenomenon.
Going far beyond Dungeons & Dragons, this heavily illustrated tome covers more than three hundred different RPGs that have been published in the last five decades.
It features (among other things) bunnies, ghostbusters, soap operas, criminal bears, space monsters, political intrigue, vampires, romance, and, of course, some dungeons and dragons.
In a decade-by-decade breakdown, Horvath chronicles how RPGs have evolved in the time between their inception and the present day, offering a deep and gratifying glimpse into a hobby that has changed the way we think about games and play.
