Fireside Chat About the Hidden Depth of LitRPG

Listen to Seth Ring & Josiah DeGraaf talk about this new & growing fantasy sub-genre.

Why Has LitRPG Become So Popular?

Interest in the LitRPG genre has exploded over the past few years. Sometimes it’s been accused of being escapist and contrived. But there’s actually a lot of hidden depth in the genre when you know where to look.

That’s why authors Seth Ring and Josiah DeGraaf hosted a Fireside Chat to talk about this genre. During this limited-time replay, they discuss why this is a valuable new genre, explore how to find powerful depth & hope in these stories, and answer audience questions.
