I’m Keima Masuda, the Dungeon Master, still chasing my dream to live a life without work. Just as we settled that Leona business, Haku piled more work onto us... She wants us to destroy some artificial dungeon plant in the Holy Kingdom, but I just got back from Daide and want to chill at home! What to do, then? “I may have an idea that will neatly solve all of these problems. May I speak?” At Toi's suggestion, who Haku had forced onto me, I decided to go to the Holy Kingdom by possessing a monster's body. Now I can work while still chilling in bed... Wait, Rokuko's coming with me?! This is Volume 14 of my own kind of dungeon story! I guess this is one way of working from home?!

"Come on, kill all those bandits for me already!" "No thanks. I don't wanna do any work." My name is Keima Masuda, and my hobby is spending each day doing exactly nothing... but one fateful night, I was summoned to another world where I met a blonde young girl who I named Rokuko. It seemed that fortune had favored me and I would soon be living a wonderful life free of work. But even though I'm a guy who loves sleeping more than eating, Rokuko demanded that I help her. "Save my dungeon! By the way, since you're the Dungeon Master, you'll die too if the Dungeon Core is destroyed." The dungeon only had one room, and it was already surrounded by bandits. Seriously? It's a checkmate already. I've gotta break out of this impossible situation so I can stop working and just sleep!

It's been about one year since I started managing this dungeon with dreams of living a work-free life. A nice and relaxed spring was ahead of me... until I ended up thrown into a three-way Dungeon Battle?! What the hell happened at the Dungeon Core gathering...? Wait, we're on a team with our guardian Core? And Rokuko's guardian is Haku, right?! Uh, given how romantic things have been getting between me and Rokuko, I'm gonna have to say n—  "I look forward to battling with you on my side, Keima." "S-Same to you, ahaha!"  Am I gonna die before the Dungeon Battle even starts?! This is Volume 5 of my own lazy kind of dungeon story!Â

I'm Keima Masuda the Dungeon Master, still chasing my dream to live a life without work. I finally get home from my trip to the Demon Realm (where I spent basically the whole time as a slave), but now Aidy the Demon Realm's princess is visiting the empire. I knew I'd be forced to give her a tour, but... "Can you do nothing about how dreadfully boring it is here, town chief?" The peaceful empire is simply too boring for Aidy! I have to go hunt down someone for Aidy the battle junky to slay in battle?! This is Volume 14 of my own kind of dungeon story! Let's fix this before I get slain myself!

In my attempts to keep my dungeon running without doing any work myself, I ended up becoming a pope on top of being town chief. That must have made me stand out a little too much, because the Tsia Archduke has a quest he wants me personally to do. I was thinking I'd meet him and turn him down, but the reward is information about the Divine Pillow?! Okay, I guess I'll accept it. "Very well," says the Archduke. "I will accept your marriage with my daughter, Maiodore." Wait a second, where'd that come from...? As I face my greatest (?) threat yet, my own kind of dungeon story continues! Why are so many people after me?!

I'm Keima Masuda, a Dungeon Master aiming for a life without work. I finally got back home from the imperial capital, only to find a whole new town on the other side of the mountain! Apparently they're copying our town and they have their own inn. In other words, less customers and work for me! Heck yeah! Or so I thought, but... Why am I getting more customers? There's even someone with a suspicious-sounding "Artifical Dungeon"... "You always see right through me, Keima... Perhaps this, too, is proof of our love." The crazy High Priestess from that crazy Holy Kingdom is here too?! This is Volume 12 of my own kind of dungeon story, where I show everyone the difference between a fake and the real thing!

The story of the arcane table-top game that became a pop culture phenomenon and the long-running legal battle waged by its cocreators. When Dungeons & Dragons was first released to a small hobby community, it hardly seemed destined for mainstream success--and yet this arcane tabletop role-playing game became an unlikely pop culture phenomenon. In Game Wizards, Jon Peterson chronicles the rise of Dungeons & Dragons from hobbyist pastime to mass market sensation, from the initial collaboration to the later feud of its creators, Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. As the game's fiftieth anniversary approaches, Peterson--a noted authority on role-playing games--explains how D&D and its creators navigated their successes, setbacks, and controversies. Peterson describes Gygax and Arneson's first meeting and their work toward the 1974 release of the game; the founding of TSR and its growth as a company; and Arneson's acrimonious departure and subsequent challenges to TSR. He recounts the "Satanic Panic" accusations that D&D was sacrilegious and dangerous, and how they made the game famous. And he chronicles TSR's reckless expansion and near-fatal corporate infighting, which culminated with the company in debt and overextended and the end of Gygax's losing battle to retain control over TSR and D&D. With Game Wizards, Peterson restores historical particulars long obscured by competing narratives spun by the one-time partners. That record amply demonstrates how the turbulent experience of creating something as momentous as Dungeons & Dragons can make people remember things a bit differently from the way they actually happened.
