Hey #GenCon2025! Me and @docetist will be signing copies of #DnD Art & Arcana, Heroes' Feast (1&2) and more from 2-4 PM tomorrow (Friday) at the @penguinrandom @TenSpeedPress booth (#365). Hope to see you there! @Wizards_DnD @SamWitwer @kyle_newman #GenCon

Ask a round of nerds what the first RPG was, and you'll likely get D&D as your answer. Some might shout out Blackmoor. A few may say Braunstein. But what if the answer was... something else? A long talk with the Thucydides of RPG history, Jon Peterson!

Join Jon Peterson (@docetist) @GreenAppleBooks on Monday, September 30th for a celebration of his book, "Playing at the World, 2E, Volume 1: The Invention of Dungeons and Dragons," with Erol Otus at 9th Ave! Link to RSVP 👉🏻 bit.ly/4erSCHc #DnD

Dungeons & Dragons has had its fair share of infamy with stories of “Satanic panic” and recently, a resurgence after being featured on Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” But what is this game really about? 🤷‍♂️ Listen below to find out! 👇  youtu.be/vONPvB9xXdA #dungeonsanddragons

🎙️ ON AIR: We're talking with @BrennanLM, @danielleradford, @docetist & @GamesofBerkeley's @Gwendles42 about all things Dungeons and Dragons, which celebrates 50 years this year. ❓Have you ever played D&D? What do you enjoy about it? kqed.org/forum/20101019…

The fun doesn't stop @Gen_Con. Starting at 3 pm today, @docetist will be signing copies of "Playing at the World, 2E" at booth 268. We look forward to seeing you! #GenCon2024 mitpress.mit.edu/9780262548779/…

@lozofenoch @PrimevalFantasy Pretty much the sections in red yeah.

@PrimevalFantasy I don't know if "Volume 2" will cover the sections in red or if it's going to be the Elusive Shift 2nd Ed. @docetist, maybe?

My copy arrived just now.

We’re all set up here at #GenCon2024! Stop by tomorrow starting at 10am to check out all the best books on D&d, video games, and sci fi from @mitpress!

As a reminder, the first volume of the revised Playing at the World by Jon Peterson (@docetist) is out in two days! Published by MIT Press (@mitpress) with an amazing cover by Erol Otus. Read more & find the link to it on the Zenopus Archives; see the first comment below.

Humble Bundle currently has a bevy of game studies books from @mitpress for just $18; @docetist’s work on D&D/role-playing games, @BRKeogh’s analysis of video game labor, and the essay collection ‘Zones of Control’ on wargaming, just to name a few! humblebundle.com/books/all-abou…

Join Gen Con chairperson Peter Adkison and D&D historian Jon Peterson as they explore the D&D editions with special guests! ⚔️ bit.ly/4f7cSiK #GenCon #GenCon2024 #DnD50atGenCon #dnd #ttrpg #rpg #GenConEvents

@MercAulicus It would be strange if it were true.

We got to hear about The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons from D&D Historian Jon Peterson including how it was an open source environment and what's in the book! techraptor.net/tabletop/news/…

As a part of @GenCon TV's continuing series playing every edition of D&D, I participated as a player this time in the 2nd edition AD&D game, and a little (almost two hour?) historical discussion preceding it. youtube.com/watch?v=jVrrk0… #rpg #dnd

✨STARTING NOW✨ on twitch.tv/gencontv Are you ready to dive deep into 2nd Edition AD&D with lead designer David "Zeb" Cook? #GenConTV #DnD50atGenCon #dnd #ttrpg #livestream

@kbevans6 @AWMuseum Shouldn’t be hard to arrange!

@docetist @AWMuseum Hey, Jon - I’m going to all the D&D History seminars at GenCon. Any chance you’ll be available to sign copies of the new book?

From the opening of the @AWMuseum Level Up exhibit which just kicked off last night in Chicago. #dnd #rpg

Join David "Zeb" Cook on twitch.tv/gencontv this Saturday, May 25, for the next installment of Gen Con TV's D&D 50th Celebration. Zeb will be leading the party through 2e! Join us at 10 am PT for a panel discussion. #GenCon #GenConTV #DnD50atGenCon

@Lumrunner @gencon Book on dice? I don't know if there's quite enough meat for that... yet, anyway.

The OD&D game I ran last Saturday for @GenCon TV is now available on YouTube. If you're curious to see how I run (one of many interpretations of) OD&D, the adventure part starts around 1:46:00. Before that, we talk about the history. youtube.com/watch?v=mIzisB… #gencon #dnd
