La Grande Aventure du Jeu de Rôle

From the origins to the darkest hours, from revival to consecration, discover the fascinating history of one of the most controversial leisure activities of the 20th century. Exclusive interviews with renowned authors, analyses and richly illustrated reports will pave the way for this great role-playing adventure.

From The Call of Cthulhu to Cyberpunk Red, role-playing games have never ceased to evolve, to metamorphose, in turn escaping or reflecting the world. Although they have become an integral part of pop culture and enjoy unquestionable media recognition, it has not always been so. Stigmatized, misunderstood, sometimes demonized, the early Rolinists had to fight for the development and recognition of their passion.

From the origins to the darkest hours, from revival to consecration, discover the fascinating and passionate history of one of the most controversial leisure activities of the 20th century. Exclusive interviews with renowned authors (Didier Guiserix, Sandy Petersen, Liz Danforth, Pen of Chaos...), analyses and richly illustrated dossiers will pave the way for this great adventure in role-playing.

This 208-page book written by Julien Pirou, with a preface by Maxime Chattam, has more than 500 color illustrations.
