Rather than developing new terms to account for web-based storytelling, Punday uses established narrative forms to better understand how digital media exposes faulty gaps in narrative theory. Punday's \u003ci\u003ePlaying at Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e shows that artists, video game developers, and narrative theorists are ultimately playing the same game. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Returning to terms such as \u003ci\u003enarrator, setting, event, character, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eworld, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePlaying at Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e reveals new ways of thinking about these basic narrative concepts-concepts that are not so basic when applied to games and web-based narratives. What are thought of as narrative innovations in these digital forms are a product of technological ability and tied to how we physically interact with a medium, creating new and complicated questions: Is the game designer the implied author or the narrator? Is the space on the screen simply the story's setting? \u003ci\u003ePlaying at Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e guides us through the evolution of narrative in new media without abandoning the field's theoretical foundations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Punday is Professor and Head of the Department of English at Mississippi State University.
