Book arrived today.
My first impression is...
This is awesome. A milestone. The single best book about actual fantasy roleplaying tradition ever written. (And I have read quite a few.)
One cannot measure this enough. Peterson just single-handledly academicized (sic) a branch of investigation in fantasy literature that had had no expression before.
My heart is green from envy. :wink:
Now, I will surely nitpick on a few details sooner or later, but regardless of this, I think it's safe to say, this might just be the most important book ABOUT rpgs written since the 80s.
(Gentlemen, this is the rare moment when I am really enthusiastic about something. Just so you know how it feels, now.)
