¿Qué son los juegos de rol? Guía Didáctica

These days there's a crowdfunding been carried out of a really interesting project: the book ¿Qué son los juegos de rol? Guía Didáctica (What are role-playing games? A Didactic Guide), written by Simón Blasco Perales, in charge of the radio show Ojo al Dado, specialized in role-playing games.

  

The book, to be published in physical and electronic formats by Ediciones Epicismo, wants to introduce the role-playing games to the general public, so expect a wide distribution in stores and bookstores (at the time of writing these news is unknown whether there will be an English edition).
