Dread Trident - Tabletop Role-Playing Games and the Modern Fantastic

Dread Trident focuses on tabletop role-playing games as vital mechanisms in the increasing creation of 'realized worlds' in modern culture. We often think of these as emerging from novel reading, film viewing, or video game playing; rarely do we consider the worlds of analog games, such as Dungeons and Dragons.
