Opis:: The representation of the Romani culture in Western popular culture has long been based on stereotypes and prejudices of those who are not part of it. These stereotypes have shaped the common perception of the Romani. Cultural studies are focused on literature relevant in the postcolonial and critical discourse analysis. In the works created for the D&D games set in the fictional world of Ravenloft, one can find the Vistani, an ethnic group inspired by the Romani. What is shown here is how the portrayal of the Vistani coincides with the stereotypes pointed out by researchers in popular depictions of the Romani culture and how the viewers receive such characterizations nowadays. This exploratory study points out how the stereotypes and culture coding work in speculative fiction (namely fantasy genre) and how the portrayal of fictional culture could have real-world implications.

Opis:: Author of this article describes characters and themes of Dragonlance saga, one of Dungeons & Dragons worlds, written by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. He notes that Heroes of the Lance are „transistional” - although they are adult in physical sense, they also have problems of teenagers and are close to young readers in regard that they must grown up, too. He also notes that the whole Dragonlance saga is transitional – placed between heroic fantasy of Tolkien and dark fantasy of Sapkowski, between fairytale-like world of Lewis and „realistic” world of Martin. He concludes that although Dragonlance main function is to entertain the reader, it can show some ethical behaviour, too.

Opis:: The study presents preliminary research focused on the history of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) in the former Czechoslovakia, especially Dungeons & Dragons (1974) and its local clone Dračí doupě (transl. Dragon’s Lair, 1990). Based on theoretical literature, period sources and semi-structured interviews with first-generation players, it gives an overview of the first contacts with RPG in the specific post-communist cultural and economic context, focusing on the distribution and reception of Dragon’s Lair, mainly in the Slovak part of the former common state. As a partial outcome of an ongoing research into the local gaming experience, the focus is not on the game itself or its commercial success, but rather on its players, their characteristics and initial experiences with tabletop RPGs in the early 1990s.
