Summary:

This collection of Dungeons & Dragons artwork provides a chronicle of the game's past, present and future. As the years passed, the game evolved from a "Satanistic" basement game for weirdos to celebrate a resurgence as a mainstream cultural phenomena. The look of the game evolved, and this visual archive explores the familiar imagery as well as one-of-a-kind rarities. -- adapted from foreword, introduction and back cover.
