(1/5) New Issue of Eludamos is out and looking very interesting for scholars of play and game - HT @domford.bsky.social eludamos.org/index.php/el... #gamestudies

As @t0mm7.bsky.social‬ indicates, my new open-access paper "Playing rogues: Picaresque experiences in videogames" is out in Eludamos! In this paper, I define and explore what Picaresque experiences are using three digital games.

Just a bit of spam! The paper "Dungeons, Dragons, and Rogues: How Picaresque Literature Shaped the Thief Class in Dungeons & Dragons" that I have written with @t0mm7.bsky.social has been published in Games and Culture!

This is my first post! I am a doctor in Spanish Literature and Game Studies. At the moment, my research is focused on the relationship between Picaresque Literature, TRPGs and video games. In general, I am interested in literary influences in video games and their cultural implication.
