   @kyonshi This book is really good. The original by Galloway really is just so weird, and this history (which I confess I haven't yet finished) adds a *ton* to the story and is just gorgeous. I am fascinated by the offhand references to the LARP group that is may have originated within.

   (I also learned about it from the VRPG podcast!)

     The Highest Level of All: The Story of Fantasy Wargaming

     The Highest Level of All: The Story of Fantasy Wargaming by Mike Monaco, is a free pdf download published at CMU Press under a CC BY-NC-ND license, and dealing with the history of the eponymous (if a bit incongruously titled) Fantasy Wargaming roleplaying game system. Yes, it turns out you can write whole books not only about DnD. At least if it's something as weird as that game at least.
