OF DICE AND MEN: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF CONTEMPORARY GAMING SUBCULTURE OF DICE AND MEN: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF CONTEMPORARY GAMING SUBCULTURE A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art in Sociology By Christopher S. Brace University of Arkansas Masters of Business Administration, 2005 University of Arkansas Bachelor of Arts in Middle East Studies & Anthropology, 2003 August 2012 University of Arkansas ABSTRACT Tabletop roleplaying is a dynamic and flourishing hobby that has become increasingly accessible to a wide variety of participants. The games themselves, as well as the gaming subculture, offer players a number of personal and social benefits that continue to enrich their lives long after they leave the table. Using Goffman's theories of Dramaturgy and Frame Analysis, this paper seeks to examine the positive impact of gaming in three key areas. The first is an analysis of the subculture which includes the evolution of the games, the growth and diversification of the roleplaying community, and the current shift in stereotypes about gaming.

  • Living Kingdoms of Kalamar Campaign Information Briefing
    INTRODUCTION Here in the introduction, we unravel one of the biggest mysteries of Living Kingdoms of Kalamar: “What is a Living® campaign?” A Living® Campaign is an organized role-playing campaign that is played simultaneously worldwide. Kenzer & Company, in conjunction with the Role-Playing Gamers Association (RPGA), directs the Living Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign. This campaign is played in many locations around the world of Tellene from our home in the Principality of Pekal to the southern jungles of the Vohven and the frigid northern wastes of the Wild Lands. Its plots, while maintained by the creative staff, are mainly the product of the wonderful imagination and hard work of our various authors and players. That's right, you are important to the Living Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign. What you do and with whom you talk make a difference in its long-term development. As the campaign progresses, more and more of our modules will be written with multiple endings. This means that players need not feel restrained from doing what they feel their character would do and what they feel the module expects them to. If you refuse to submit to the foreign diplomat’s insults in the middle of peace negotiations, then we want you to do what you feel is right. The world is truly Living and you can make the choices you feel appropriate, and experience the repercussions of your actions. Convention staff and tournament organizers can download scenarios from RPGA Headquarters. Kenzer & Company sanctions these scenarios and only sanctioned scenarios (along with the adventure modules approved for adaptation, found on the Living Kingdoms of Kalamar page) allow a character to gain experience and treasure.
