Of modern monsters and scientific magic: the design challenges of simulating an enchanted world in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
Original language description
This article analyzes the magical system of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition in the context of anidea of the enchanted world highlighting controversial relationships between this concept and therules of the game. On the one hand, D&D's magic constantly borrows the imagery and ideas fromdifferent texts that follow the logic of enchanted world, starting with the idea of magic itself andending with particular spells being grounded in the fundamental traits of enchanted world likeubiquitous of liminality and the anxiety about agency. On the other hand, broader logic of D&D'srules inadvertently influences the way those spells function accordingly, making them more alignedwith disenchanted logic of modernity. This combination of superficial fidelity and proceduralreimagining make the magic system of D&D a perfect example of naturalization of modernity asthe only possible worldview.
