Roudel: Ethnographic insight into the experience of the players of Dungeons and Dragons Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Marek Halbich, Ph.D. Bc. Tereza Marešová 2022 Abstract In this project, I try my hand at ethnography of the game Dungeons and Dragons through the experience of one specific group of players in a long-term game campaign which through game elements builds sociality between players. I deal with issues of binarity of everyday life and game experience through the theory of the Magic Circle, the virtual pre-cybernetic nature of this game and community and its influence on building relationships, game structure, rules and ways of interacting with them, reasons why players return to this game repeatedly and possible problematic consequences. I also look at my experience with this very ethnography- friendly game, which supports my conclusions. The research is conducted in a closed group of Czech players holding through two campaigns between 2019 and 2022, with additional interviews from other volunteers from the ranks of Czech Dungeons and Dragons players. Keywords: Dungeons and Dragons, virtual world, pre-cybernetic, Magic circle, Active Aesthetic experience, Social ties, campaign
