The story of white masculinity in geek culture through a history of hobby gaming

Geek culture has never been more mainstream than it is now, with the ever-increasing popularity of events like Comic Con, transmedia franchising of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, market dominance of video and computer games, and the resurgence of board games such as Settlers of Catan and role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. Yet even while the comic book and hobby shops where the above are consumed today are seeing an influx of BIPOC gamers, they remain overwhelmingly white, male, and heterosexual.

The Privilege of Play contends that in order to understand geek identity’s exclusionary tendencies, we need to know the history of the overwhelmingly white communities of tabletop gaming hobbyists that preceded it. It begins by looking at how the privileged networks of model railroad hobbyists in the early twentieth century laid a cultural foundation for the scenes that would grow up around war games, role-playing games, and board games in the decades ahead. These early networks of hobbyists were able to thrive because of how their leisure interests and professional ambitions overlapped. Yet despite the personal and professional strides made by individuals in these networks, the networks themselves remained cloistered and homogeneous—the secret playgrounds of white men.

Aaron Trammell catalogs how gaming clubs composed of lonely white men living in segregated suburbia in the sixties, seventies and eighties developed strong networks through hobbyist publications and eventually broke into the mainstream. He shows us how early hobbyists considered themselves outsiders, and how the denial of white male privilege they established continues to define the socio-technical space of geek culture today. By considering the historical role of hobbyists in the development of computer technology, game design, and popular media, The Privilege of Play charts a path toward understanding the deeply rooted structural obstacles that have stymied a more inclusive community. The Privilege of Play concludes by considering how digital technology has created the conditions for a new and more diverse generation of geeks to take center stage.

In this lavish coloring book for adults, the fanciful, elegant world of artist/playwright/filmmaker Jean Cocteau comes alive. As a playwright, he is best known for The Human Voice (1930); as a filmmaker, for directing Beauty and the Beast (1946) and Orpheus (1948). In the 1910s, he was a prominent member of the Paris avant-garde, forming friendships and professional relationships with Picasso, Stravinsky, Gide, Proust, and Apollinaire. His paintings and graphic art were playful, avant-garde expressions, exploring mythological themes and subjects, personal portraits, and domestic scenes.

This book includes many of Cocteau's graphic drawings ready to be colored in, alongside original illustrations for reference. It also includes images from the original film poster for Beauty and the Beast, playful doodles that Cocteau included in written letters to his lover Jean Marais, and drawings of Parisian women, cats, sleeping figures, circus performers, and other figures emanating from Cocteau's imagination.

The Jean Cocteau Coloring Book is a captivating activity book for adults that also serves as a primer on the work of this inspiring artist.

Full-color throughout.

The genius and artistry behind Superbrothers and the making of an indie video game, from inception to its highly anticipated launch.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery was released in 2011 at the forefront of an exciting era of “indie games” – with the aesthetic of punk rock and the edge of modernist fiction, indie games pushed gaming into the realm of the avant-garde. Superbrothers (Craig D. Adams) was hailed as a visionary in the video game world.

Now, his long-awaited follow-up, JETT: The Far Shore, has been released for Sony PlayStation and Epic Games Store. In the decade from inception to launch, Adams brought author Adam Hammond along for the ride, allowing unprecedented insight into the complicated genesis of Jett.

The Far Shore offers a portrait of the enigmatic Adams and his team, the genius and artistry, the successes and setbacks, that went into building the world of JETT, in which you’re tasked with scouting a new home for a humanoid people after they’ve decimated their planet. To provide context, Hammond recounts the history of indie games and how their trajectory has followed that of independent art and literature. A riveting insider’s look at one of our most popular art forms.

The sixth title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape Books, The Adventure of the Train of the Dead is an exhilarating combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story. Readers will take on the role of the world’s foremost consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, as he embarks on a journey full of twists and turns.

Colonel Lysander Stark is a ruthless gang-leader who was running a counterfeiting operation in the City of London until he and his gang were captured by the police. Of course, the raid was made thanks to the intervention of Sherlock Holmes. However, shortly after his capture and subsequent sentencing, the Colonel escapes from prison.

A month later, an unusual series of unaccompanied passengers — in coffins, with one-way tickets — ride on the Necropolis Railway to be buried at Brookwood Cemetery in London: the first is a John A. Watson, two days later a John B. Watson, and some days after that a John C. Watson. Whose bodies are in the coffins? Who is buying their tickets? Can you, as Holmes, solve the mystery before your loyal companion John H. Watson is riding on the train of the dead?

Culminating in the huge London Necropolis, the adventure finds you solving puzzles set as a deadly challenge by the vindictive and embittered Colonel Stark. Can you solve the puzzles and save your one and only friend from a terrible ending?
