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!
