    “Book Descriptions: The CRPG Book Project is a collaborative, non-profit effort to create a free and easily available ebook on the history of Computer Role-Playing Games.

    The goal is to gather all the knowledge currently spread across countless websites, books, forums and minds in a single, accessible and visually pleasing tome.

    The completed ebook was first released as a free PDF in 2018, getting over 160,000 downloads. A deal was then made with Bitmap Books, which published a limited hardcover version of the book in 2019. All of the author’s profits (£20.992 as of January 2022) were donated to Vocação, a Brazilian NGO that helps kids and teenagers from poor areas to get a better education and find employment.

    In 2022, a new expanded edition was released, now with 160 extra pages, addressing issues with the previous release and expanding it to include games that were never released in English, as well as MMOs, MUDs, RPG Maker titles and more.

    This expanded edition is freely available for download at the project's website.”
