Come watch a literature professor gush about the newest hotness in fantasy and sci-fi: LitRPG! These books that use video or tabletop role-playing game mechanics to tell their stories are taking the publishing and media world by storm, and we're gonna talk about where the genre came from, why it blew up, and where it might be going.
Featuring serious academic discussion, not-so-serious jokes and chats, Q&A, and a brief word from (a) Dungeon Crawler Carl's Princess Donut (cosplayer)!
Spoilers extremely minimal, all experience levels with the genre welcome!
In Statler A/B at Station-Unity.
