Description

Die Dissertation Role Playing Materials untersucht die materielle Seite von Larp, Mixed Reality und Pen'n'Paper Rollenspielen.

Wie kooperieren Gewandung, Virtuelle-Realitat-Brille, oder ein Bleistift mit Erzahlung und Spielregeln?

Neben Antworten auf diese Frage versucht das Buch das Verstandnis von Rollenspiel als eine Handlung zu erweitern, die nicht nur von Menschen gepragt wird. Role Playing Materials examines how larp, mixed and tabletop role-playing games work.

Costumes, computers, pen and paper are not passive elements.

Materials change and are changed during role-playing game sessions, because they work together with narrative and ludic elements.

If we think about materials as social elements, how do they make role-playing games work?

To answer this question, Role Playing Materials draws on ethnographic fieldwork among role-playing communities in Germany.

The analysis draws upon the fields of game studies, and science, technology and society studies.
