Bahamut Illustrations by Rick Hershey, Tim Hibbets, and Colin Throm Shows Its Hideous Visage The Grandfather of Dragons commands us to be Deities and Demigods: vigilant against all evil and to destroy it wherever we encounter it. Yet many who wear his noble colors By Robert J. Schwalb are content to await the coming darkness—they think that they will be ready for the time when evil Bahamut Illustrations by Rick Hershey, Tim Hibbets, and Colin Throm shows its hideous visage. Brothers and sisters, evil will never reveal itself. Those sworn to wickedness cannot abide the shining beacon because they find its brilliance loathsome. No, evil’s servants haunt the darkness that spawns it. They bide their time. They spread evil’s filthy seed to unsuspecting innocents, offering temptations even the innocent cannot re- fuse. We permit this festering cancer as we strive to safeguard our lands. We combat the obvious threats, but this, friends, is what darkness wants. Evil would have us fritter away all our strength against its de- coys, laughing at our feeble flailing. How, I ask, can we ever hope to quench the hated one’s conflagration when all we do is fight the small fires? The Platinum Dragon commands us to pro- tect the weak and to safeguard the innocent from evil’s depredations, yet time and again the common person succumbs to temptation We cannot wait any longer—we cannot allow another day to pass—while the Dark Lady and other vile forces plot our dooms from unseen redoubts. We must look deep within our hearts and find our purity. We must scourge our flesh to purge temptation and doubt. We must test our friends, our families, and our neighbors to be certain shadow has no hold. And where we find it, we must cleanse the flesh. We liberate the spirit. If we falter in this holy mission, we fail. If we quail before the horrors, evil wins. Giving mercy, we permit evil and become no better than those we fight. Brothers and sisters, we are at war. -Josseth Crownblade, Platinum Talon, Templar of Bahamut TM & © 2009 Wizards of the Coast LLC. All rights reserved.

Representations of classed masculinity, femininity, whiteness, Blackness, and indigeneity engage the perceived threats to, and the threats of, white patriarchy in the face of shifting racial and gender roles. This analysis utilizes travel guides, souvenirs, travel diaries, popular histories, television shows, newspapers, brochures, travel reviews, and marketing materials from the nineteenth century through the present to

I DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PEBPAOE The purpose of this study is to exsimine the view­ points of a sufficient number of critics of the Pre- Eaphaelite Movement to arrive at a tentative definition and to place the movement in its proper historical per­ spective. The primary emphasis will be literary. But since ,the Pre-Raphaelite Movement began as a movement in painting and so expanded in its later phase that its influence spread to furniture making, interior decoration, tapestry and wall paper design, and book making and illustration, a completely literary study of the movement would be as inadequate as one dealing solely with the painting. Numerous studies have been made of the indi­ vidual Pre-Raphaelites and of the movement in general. Most of these, however, are devoted to relating biographi­ cal facts and to tracing the history of the movement. Critical studies of the aesthetic underlying the movement and motivating the individual members are few in number. Although Pre-Eaphaelitism is well documented, no universal agreement concerning the historical facts of the movement exists. Por this reason, the first part of the study is essentially historical, tracing the successive Phases through which Pre-Ranhaelitism progressed.

  • Intersectional Identities in Dungeons & Dragons
    DUNGEONS & DISCOURSE: INTERSECTIONAL IDENTITIES IN DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Philip J. Clements A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2019 Committee: Timothy Messer-Kruse, Advisor Paul Morris Graduate Faculty Representative Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach i ABSTRACT Timothy Messer-Kruse, Advisor Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) has been a pervasive force in American culture for over forty years, and while it has frequently been examined as both social practice and cultural text, rarely have both the texts and the praxis of D&D been studied with a focus on how race and gender interact within the game. This research looks at how race and gender intersect (or more often, contrast) within the text and practice of D&D. This study culls data from a wide variety of sources. It includes literary analyses of important source material for the game, such as the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard, describing the way these authors influenced the way the game understands and uses race. It also examines later works that both influence and have been influenced by Dungeons & Dragons. This includes texts like Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen, a fantasy epic that began as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. In addition to textual analyses, this study includes data and observations taken from interviewing players and observing numerous sessions of D&D. These interviews and observations are essential, as they provide information on how people talk, act, and think around the gaming table, and how players engage critically with concepts of race and gender in and out of the game.
