Saturday Apr 29, 2023
Today, our Youth Librarians take over the show, once again, turning it into "A Little Too Loud." This episode is all about RPG games, or tabletop role-playing games, to be specific. We already host an RPG group for middle school students, but over the summer, we'll be hosting a monthly game group for adult players! And today, you can join us as we play a very concise tabletop RPG, where our panelists will create and play as their own characters, like wizards, druids, and rogues!
