It has grown into a new form of entertainment that combines elements of improvisational theater, adventure fiction and film, riddles and games of logic, all built on a foundation of bloodthirsty combat. User summary: The "27th Edition" probably is apocryphal; the document is additionally tagged with "Revised and Expanded" and "40th Anniversary Edition". Some of the art used in the product (including the cover art) is probably copyright-infringing.
