With the release of its second volume, the second edition of Playing at the World is finally complete. The two books combined total well over 1,000 pages on the conceptual origins of role-playing games. The first edition had been out of print for some years, so if you've wanted to check it out, this would be a good time. Each volume has a spiffy new cover by classic D&D artist Erol Otus, and of course updated coverage of its sprawling subject matter.
