Dangerous Games: What the Moral Panic over Role-Playing Games Says about Play, Religion, and Imagined Worlds
This book examines the 1980s moral panic surrounding fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons. It traces how figures from the Christian Right, psychology, and law enforcement portrayed these games as psychologically harmful and as occult religion disguised as play. The discussion considers the history of the controversy and its broader sociological significance.
