A coalition of moral entrepreneurs that included representatives from the Christian Right, the field of psychology, and law enforcement claimed that these games were not only psychologically dangerous but an occult religion masquerading as a game. Dangerous Games explores both the history and the sociological significance of this panic. Fantasy role-playing games do share several functions in common with religion. However, religion-as a socially constructed world of shared meaning-can also be compared to a fantasy role-playing game. In fact, the claims of the moral entrepreneurs, in which they presented themselves as heroes battling a dark conspiracy, often resembled the very games of imagination they condemned as evil. By attacking the imagination, they preserved the taken-for-granted status of their own socially constructed reality. Interpreted in this way, the panic over fantasy-role playing games yields new insights about how humans play and together construct and maintain meaningful worlds. Laycock's clear and accessible writing ensures that Dangerous Games will be required reading for those with an interest in religion, popular culture, and social behavior, both in the classroom and beyond. 606 $aFantasy games$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aRole playing$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aDungeons and Dragons (Game)$xMoral and ethical aspects 610 $aalter egos. 610 $achristian right. 610 $achristianity. 610 $aconspiracy theory. 610 $aconstructed world. 610 $adungeons and dragons. 610 $afan studies. 610 $afantasy games. 610 $afantasy. 610 $agame theory. 610 $agaming. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aimagination. 610 $alaw enforcement. 610 $amedia. 610 $amental health. 610 $amorality. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoccult. 610 $aplay theory. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $apsychology. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $arole playing games. 610 $arole playing. 610 $aroleplaying. 610 $arpgs. 610 $asocial behavior. 610 $asocial theory. 610 $asociology. 610 $asupernatural. 615 0$aFantasy games$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aRole playing$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aDungeons and Dragons (Game)$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a793.93 700 $aLaycock$b Joseph$f1980-$01174867 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787231203321 996 $aDangerous games$93830794 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02148nam 2200457 450 001 9910826740703321 005 20220706122352.0 010 $a0-7303-7053-4 010 $a0-7303-7050-X 035 $a(CKB)4100000007990392 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5751860 035 $a(OCoLC)1097985204 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780730369721 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5751860 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007990392 100 $a20190510d2019 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aReal communication $ehow to be you and lead true /$fGabrielle Dolan 205 $a1st edition 210 1$aMilton, QLD :$cWiley,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (177 pages) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a0-7303-6972-2 330 $aEffective communication through authentic leadership A rapidly evolving workplace and disruptive technologies have created a growing demand for transparency and authenticity in communication from business leaders.
