A richly illustrated, encyclopedic deep dive into the history of roleplaying games.When Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson released Dungeons & Dragons in 1974, they created the first roleplaying game of all time. Little did they know that their humble box set of three small digest-sized booklets would spawn an entire industry practically overnight. In Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground, Stu Horvath explores how the hobby of roleplaying games, commonly known as RPGs, blossomed out of an unlikely pop culture phenomenon and became a dominant gaming form by the 2010s. Going far beyond D&D, this heavily illustrated tome covers more than three hundred different RPGs that have been published in the last five decades.
Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground features (among other things) bunnies, ghostbusters, soap operas, criminal bears, space monsters, political intrigue, vampires, romance, and, of course, some dungeons and dragons. In a decade-by-decade breakdown, Horvath chronicles how RPGs have evolved in the time between their inception and the present day, offering a deep and gratifying glimpse into a hobby that has changed the way we think about games and play.

I would buy again!

I bought this set for my son's high school graduation back in May! Came quickly, and it was exactly what we needed. It fit as described, and looked very nice during the ceremony, along w his cap n gown. Well worth the $ spent!

Ok product for average shape
Size: Large, Color: White
ok for the price but didn't work out for us. I had one guy whose body is thick and one who is thin. Couldn't get the set to fit on top and bottom at the same time, pants were a lil see through, but still decent quality and price.
