Pressezitat
"The battle Over Dungeons & Dragons was the ultimate geek war."Wired
"In Game Wizards: The Epic Battle for Dungeons & Dragons, historian Jon Peterson hopes to lay to rest the rumors and speculation that have plagued the early history of D&D. At the center of this new book is the feud between co-creators Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax. His work relies on a treasure trove of firsthand interviews and primary documentation, as well as remnants from the lost archives of D&D s original publisher, TSR."
Polygon
"A deep dive into a significant controversy in the gaming world: who deserves credit for the meteoric rise of Dungeons & Dragons and blame for the subsequent avalanche of public spats, lawsuits, and business bungling...A good dungeon crawl... treasures abound for experienced adventurers."
Kirkus Reviews
'Jon Peterson s Game Wizards is an in-depth history and I really do mean in-depth of the creation of Dungeons and Dragons and in particular the ugly struggle for control of TSR. It s vivid and incredibly well-researched, although this particular niche is well, it s very niche.'
Tim Harford
"A lively and readable history of the game, its first owners, and their fumbling attempts to run a business."
ZDNet
"Game Wizards makes a fascinating reading. We have never, ever seen such a level of detail and documentation regarding the inner workings of TSR down to board meetings and executives' plans and ideas. The book shines a really strong light on the 'secret history' of the company"
