Summary:
"Co-created by wargame enthusiasts Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, the original
Dungeons
&
Dragons
role-playing game released by TSR (Tactical Studies Rules) in 1974 created a radical new medium: the role-playing game. But by 1997, a series of ruinous choices and failed projects brought TSR to the edge of doom -- only to be saved by their fiercest competitor, Wizards of the Coast, the company behind the collectible card game 'Magic: The Gathering.' Unearthed from Ben Riggs's own adventurous campaign of in-depth research, interviews with major players, and acquisitions of
secret
documents, 'Slaying the Dragon' reveals the true story of the rise and fall of TSR. Go behind the scenes of their Lake Geneva headquarters where innovative artists and writers redefined the sword and sorcery genre, managers and executives sabotaged their own success by alienating their top talent, ignoring their customer fanbase, accruing a mountain of debt, and agreeing to deals which, by the end, made them into a publishing company unable to publish so much as a postcard."
