    Dicing with Dragons is a book written by English fantasy author Ian Livingstone, who is the co-founder of the Fighting Fantasy series of role-playing gamebooks. His introduction to role-playing games was first published in Great Britain in 1982. This is the dust jacket of a printing by Plume Books, an imprint of New American Library, from 1982 or 1984.

    Vintage Geek Culture comments:

    This is like the tabletop RPG version of those 90s books about the Internet where the cover is a robot on a surfboard going through a wave of numbers out of a monitor.

    Gerry Burpee adds:

    You can tell this is fantasy because there is a woman at the table.

    The cover art by Victoria Poyser is paired with Ryter, used in all caps with some of its many alternates. This uncredited VGC release is supported by ITC Korinna.
