role game Logos and Brands

Tabletop and digital role-playing games, in which participants take on the role of a character and develop that character within a fictional world, set the theme for the “Role Game” section. Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, GURPS, and their digital successors have spawned an entire industry where rulebooks, dice sets, miniatures, and screen adaptations bear the marks of publishers and studios. Role-playing game logos draw on fantasy and science fiction imagery, from swords and dragons to star charts and magical runes. The brands in this section represent a genre that originated in the basements of American colleges in the 1970s and has grown into a global industry where tabletop and computer RPGs coexist and fuel each other.
