届いて見た瞬間に思ったのは、分厚い！！重い！！
４００ページオーバーの分厚さに、古今のＤ＆Ｄ関連イラストが本当に満載です。
ＴＳＲ社時代に発行されたファンタジーアート、ドラゴンランスファインアート等に掲載されていたイラストもあり、Ｄ＆Ｄ関連グッズの広告イラスト、ドラゴン誌（もちろんアメリカ版）の表紙まであり。
それらの解説、時代風景などは英文のため私にはさっぱりですが、
とにかくめくっているだけでテーブルトークの生まれた時代から流行の時代、現代までを
感じることができ、ワクワクが溢れます！
Ｄ＆Ｄ好きには本当にお買い得！

An excellent visual history to the game which could have been twice as long
2018年12月8日に英国でレビュー済み
In 1974 Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created a different type of tabletop game. Dungeons and Dragons became the world's first and most popular roleplaying game. For thirty-four years it ruled supreme and unchallenged, until a problematic fourth edition and the rise of the rival Pathfinder game knocked it off its perch. However, with its fifth edition the game has regained its crown. A key ingredient to the game's success has been the phenomenal roster of artists who have worked on the game for almost forty-five years.
Art & Arcana is a visual history of the Dungeons and Dragons game, taking in every edition and campaign setting the game has produced, as well as many of its novels, calendars and video games. Artwork from the very first prototypes right through the latest 5th Edition expansions and modules is featured, along with lengthy histories and interviews with key personnel.
Arts & Arcana is massive: more than 440 pages in length, it features over 700 separate pieces of artwork along with a significant amount of text detailing the history of the game in some depth. It starts with Gygax and Arneson playing miniatures wargames in Wisconsin in the late 1960s and rapidly hitting on the idea of moving from large armies of lots of figures to small parties of just a few figures exploring dungeons, and later wilderness and towns. Dungeons and Dragons was born, with Gygax and Arneson founding the company TSR to sell it all over the world.
From there the game exploded, selling millions of copies and inspiring spin-off novels, board games and a TV show. Several times the management of the game became fraught and complicated, with Gygax forced out in a corporate takeover and TSR later collapsing before being rescued by Wizards of the Coast. The game's struggles in the face of competition from video games and card games such as Magic: The Gathering are also documented, not to mention the attacks on the game in the press by fundamentalist Christians in the 1980s. The book brushes over arguably the game's nadir, the problematic 4th Edition (2008-13) and the rise of rival products to challenge the game's supremacy, but it does end strongly with the game's return to recent prominence in a new era of podcasts, YouTube videos and Twitch streams.
The one constant throughout the book is artwork. The initial artwork for the game was simplistic, sourced for very little money from whatever artists were on hand. As the game boomed in sales, so the quality of the artwork increased dramatically, with iconic artists like Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell and Keith Parkinson joining the company. Later on younger artists arrived with radically different styles, ready to reassess the game for its later editions. As well as artwork for the core game, they also produced art for tie-in novels and video games.
The result is a splendid coffee table book and the perfect gift for a fan of Dungeons and Dragons specifically or fantasy artwork in general. In fact, it's a tribute to the artistic strength of Dungeons and Dragons that so many brilliant pieces of artwork aren't even in the book, as there wasn't enough room.
In fact, that's probably the book's biggest weakness (along with the somewhat dry and mostly controversy-ducking text): the sheer amount of material produced for D&D over the past forty-five years means that some elements get fairly short shrift in this book. Ravenloft feels a bit hard-done by in particular. There's also, somewhat bemusingly given their prevalence in and for the game, very little material on maps, although perhaps there's enough material there for a completely separate book later on.
If you can accept the fact that the book isn't exhaustively complete (and isn't meant to be, and would be far too unwieldy even if it was), there's still a huge amount to enjoy here, and the book forms probably the best and most concise history of the D&D game to date for the beginner. Art & Arcana (****½) is available now in the UK and USA.

Brilliant book. Came in great condition direct from Germany. Loads of fantastic art in this book and a great brief history into D&D. Recommended for any D&D fan. I've only JUST started to look into this table top game, so I found the book very informative without being overwhelming.

D&D history book

If you started playing way back when it was called AD&D and Basic D&D (then you are old like me!). But for us this is a brilliant walk down memory lane. Very nice book and well worth getting as a present for anyone who is playing D&D.

What an excellent book, and insane given the current selling price of £25. It’s a high quality paper and print, with great information and art throughout. I honestly don’t see how it can be profitable to sell at that price.
A great insight into the history of D&D, and a great table-top book just to have around.

I'm docking a star because it's a larger form factor than the other books and there's only the barest mention of TSR UK. Otherwise it's gorgeous. It's a trip through memory lane. Many of the pictures brought back memories.

Whilst the book is a fantastic product and of great interest and very informative to a long time player of d&d the fact that it was damaged along the spine at the front and rear is a big disappointment and not something I expect for such a high quality product. Poor....

Art & Arcana is a juggernaut of a book, telling the story of D&D from its conception to the present day.
Well researched and complete, the author recounts the game’s critical hits and fumbles in an easy, conversational style.
The tome itself is a luxurious volume, too tempting for any collector or enthusiast to ignore.

I bought this book as I've recently been venturing back into the world of Dungeons and Dragons after a 25 year hiatus. It's a beautiful tome packed full of evocative artwork and interesting notes on the history of the game and the people who created it. If you have anyone in your life who is into D&D, this is the perfect birthday or Christmas gift.

Great book!
2020年1月12日に英国でレビュー済み
Super cool book. Arrived in decent condition, though the front cover had slight damage on the edge, but nothing particularly noticeable. A lot bigger than I'd anticipated, and a lot heavier. It's definitely a good buy, and would recommend if you'd like inspiration, or to read about and appreciate the artwork for D&D.
Looking at this and the collectors (which I didn't get), I couldn't see any justification, as you don't get much more for the large price point. Unless you'd like to spend another £40-£60 for a few posters, etc, I wouldn't recommend that version.
