Abstract
In coming to the end of a journey it is customary to look back over the road taken and assemble the places passed into a kind of cohesive world. Because the journey of this book has spanned multiple worlds, we could more accurately describe the outcome as a multiverse. Each field site I have visited exists in experience as a realm of connected things, and each realm is connected by threads of shared experiences in the multiverse of imagined worlds generated through tabletop role-playing games.
