SIMSOC, The Coordinator’s Manual by William A. Gamson with Larry G. Peppers

 An Overview. SIMSOC (which is pronounced sim-sock and stands for simulated society) is the most versatile role-playing game in the world. It has been used by hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of groups, in introductory sociology courses and business seminars, for firsthand understanding of the forces that determine success or failure in any group or society. Coordinators accustomed to the previous edition will find no cumbersome rule changes — this edition is simpler yet broader than its predecessor.
