The CRPG Book Project (2023)


Sharing the History of Computer Role-Playing Games

Our goal is to gather all the knowledge currently spread across countless websites, books, videos, podcasts, forums and minds in a single, accessible and visually pleasing tome. All the author’s profits (£34,387 as of January 2024) were donated to Vocação, a Brazilian NGO that helps kids and teenagers from poor areas get better education and find employment. Written by 167 volunteers – fans, AAA developers, indies, journalists, modders and industry personalities such as Ian Frazier, Scorpia, Ferhegón, Richard Cobbett, Mandalore, Brian ‘Psychochild’ Green, Durante, George Weidman (SuperBunnyHop), Chris Avellone and Tim Cain, among others.
