"A one-stop, complete guide to tabletop role-playing games for novice librarians as well as seasoned players"--
Torres-Roman, a teen librarian, and Snow, a metadata librarian/cataloger, offer a guide to tabletop role-playing games for librarians looking for programming for teens. They cover the basic principles of these games; their history; selection and collection development; classification and cataloging; programming, including materials, choosing a game, advertising, planning, and how to provide responses to objections to the games; and reviews of specific games, with information on the title and author, publication, publisher, genre tags, type of dice, the game's system, character roles, the setting, cost, and numerical evaluations of the game's complexity, popularity, support, completeness, versatility, and emulation of its genre. They do not cover live action or computer role-playing games. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
