When the reimagined fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons debuted in the summer of 2014 tabletop roleplaying games were on the brink of obsolescence.

How did an analog game nearly a half century old become a star in a digital world? For the first time, Lore & Legends reveals the incredible ongoing story of Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition from the perspective of the designers, artists, and players who bring it to life. This comprehensive visual guide illuminates contemporary D&D - its development, evolution, cultural relevance, and popularity - through exclusive interviews and more than 900 pices of artwork photography, and advertising curated and analyzed by the authors of the bestselling and Hugo Award-nominated Dungeons & Dragons: Art & Arcana.
