Resumo
Esta dissertação busca traçar um panorama e as fases inicial (1976-1982) e principal (1982-1987) do livro-jogo, RPG voltado para jogadores únicos e autossuficiente, ainda inexistente em livros teóricos ou estudos mais profundos sobre esse gênero. Para isso, no primeiro capítulo, são abordados os conceitos de RPG, aventura-solo e livro-jogo, bem como uma comparação entre si sem esgotar e delimitar esse assunto. No segundo capítulo são analisados os livros-jogo brasileiros consequentes da produção britânica, não em profundidade, mas como peças panorâmicas de um sistema ainda em construção. No terceiro capítulo são examinados os sistemas de RPGs e suas aventuras-solo (Tunnels & Trolls e The Fantasy Trip) que inspiraram e/ou esboçaram o que foi (e ainda é) o livro-jogo, constituindo seu período de formação. No quarto capítulo é explicada a série de livros interativos que também ajudou a formar o livro-jogo ao lado dos livretos de aventura-solo, a Choose Your Own Adventure. No quinto capítulo é abordado o livro-jogo finalmente consolidado e reconhecido como tal (série Fighting Fantasy), conhecendo seus autores, obras mais relevantes, além de outras séries que também mereceram atenção por suas especificidades como Sorcery!, Lone Wolf, The Way of the Tiger e o periódico Warlock, importante mídia a disseminar o livro-jogo no mercado editorial mundial. No sexto e último capítulo são abordados os motivos do retraimento do livro-jogo no mercado e sua ressurgência. Também procura-se discutir as consequências desse fenômeno e indagar sobre o que se pode esperar para seu futuro.
This dissertation seeks to outline a panorama and gamebook’s initial (1976-1982) and main (1982-1987) phases, RPG aimed at unique and self-sufficient players, still nonexistent in theoretical books or deeper studies on this genre. For this, in the first chapter, the concepts of RPG, solo adventure and gamebook are approached, as well as a comparison among themselves without exhausting and delimiting this subject. In the second chapter the Brazilian gamebooks as a result of the British production are analyzed, not in depth, but as panoramic pieces of a system still under construction. In the third chapter, RPG systems and their solo adventures (Tunnels & Trolls and The Fantasy Trip), inspiring and / or sketching what was (and still is) the gamebook are examined, constituting its period of formation. In the fourth chapter the series of interactive books that also helped form the gamebook alongside the solo adventure booklets, Choose Your Own Adventure, is discussed. In the fifth chapter the gamebook finally consolidated and recognized as such (Fighting Fantasy series), knowing its authors, more relevant works, besides other series that also deserved attention for its specificities like Sorcery!, Lone Wolf, The Way of the Tiger and the periodical Warlock, important media to spread the gamebook in the world-wide publishing market are discussed. In the sixth and final chapter the gamebook withdrawal’s motives in the book market and its resurgence are analyzed. It also seeks to discuss the consequences of the gamebook phenomenon and to inquire about what can be expected for its future.
