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.

  • Interfilk Songbook.Pdf
    Introduction Ten years is a pretty worthy kind of anniversary to celebrate. It hasn't been ten years since Interfilk was first thought of that's even longer. And it hasn't been ten years since Interfilk came into existence — also longer. But it has been ten years since the very first Interfilk guest, Mike Whitaker, was sent to a convention. That convention was Consonance in 1992. Now, for the release of this songbook we travel ten years in time to Consonance 2002, and celebrate ten full years of raising funds, finding and selecting worthy guests, and arranging for them to go to a fill( convention far from their home. It hardly seems possible that so much has happened. rmi The first few years were lean ones, with Interfilk having only sufficient funds to send one or two guests a year. Does anyone recollect when Interfilk became an accepted part of the filk community and Interfilk auctions became an event to not miss? I remember when it happened at FilKONtario: It was 1993 and Michael Longcor took on the job of auctioneer with Mary Ellen Wessels ad libbing the role of auction wench. None of the auctions were tame after that. We're certainly glad you enjoy them. Interfilk is absolutely dependant on the generosity of the filk community for survival. The conventions have been incredibly cooperative, giving us table space and program time to run our little auction. They have taken our Interfilk guests to heart and treated them royally. We've had so much help at these events, with folks like Steve Simmons, Bill Roper, John Hall, Mark Bernstein, Michael Longcor, Nick Smith and our own Bill Sutton lending their talents at the auctioneer's position.

Story as Song: Filking Children's Literature Doug Crane ! It is midnight at your local science fiction convention. The daily programming and contests have ended. Most of the delegates, costumed or casual, have retired to their hotel rooms or begun the long drive home. Although the hotel lobby is deserted, a faint wave of music floats through the air -- not the electronically-piped Muzak supplied by the hotel, but the gentle strum of a guitar accompanying a soprano voice. The source of this melody is a wide meeting room in a forgotten corner of the hotel. It is midnight and the filking has begun. Filk is a form of folk music unique to the science fiction/fantasy community. It is a music largely inspired by books, movies, television shows, and comics. Mirroring its broad speculative sources, the styles range from original work to parody to ballads to parody of parody. The musicians themselves are an equally diverse group, composed of talented amateurs, struggling professionals, and those who simply enjoy listening to these unique songs. Born on the convention circuit during the fifties, the first musicians were an eclectic group of delegates from diverse locales. They gathered in the late evening after the regular convention programming was complete, since this was often the only time they could reserve an empty room. Bouncing from person to person, the music would carry on until sunrise as people sang, exchanged lyrics, and offered up stories and anecdotes to their friends and fellows.
