A review of Dead Trident: Tabletop Role-Playing Games and the Modern Fantastic by Curtis D. Carbonell. Dead Trident takes up imaginary worlds portrayed through tabletop roleplaying games (TRPGs) and links them to science fiction and fantasy. The book addresses a shift in thinking from bodies to spaces by theorizing the thinking subject beyond Cartesian dualism. Dread Trident urgently attempts to expand posthuman discourse by centering virtual worlds in and around tabletop roleplaying games.
