I’ve just put out a review of various Star Trek: Lower Decks spin-off publications over on my books-movies-and-TV blog, one of which may have crossover appeal to regular readers here – that’s Warp Your Own Way, a choose-your-own-adventure gamebook in graphic novel form which does some especially fun things with the format.
Shannon Appelcline has cultivated a bit of a career as an RPG historian, producing material which is less academic than Jon Peterson’s Playing At the World, The Elusive Shift, or Game Wizards whilst casting a wider net than Ben Riggs’ Slaying the Dragon. His magnum opus is the Designers & Dragons series, whose core release constitutes a bunch of potted histories of different game companies, arranged by the year they entered the RPG industry; I reviewed the four-volume edition here a while back.
