Lizzie Stark (of
Leaving Mundania fame) and
Ethan Gilsdorf (author of
Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks) will be reading at
Bestsellers Cafe in Medford, MA on Sunday, June 16 from 2-3:30p. From the
event page:
Lizzie Stark is the author of "Leaving Mundania", which tells the story of adults who put on costumes, develop personas, and interact with other characters over the course of hours or days as part of a larp, or live action roleplaying game. A larp is a hybrid of games like Dungeons & Dragons, historical reenactment, fandom, and good old fashioned pretend; it’s well-organized make believe for grownups. This diverse subculture is just beginning to enter the mainstream imagination in America.
Ethan Gilsdorf is the author of "Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks". What could one man find if he embarked on a journey through fantasy world after fantasy world? In an enthralling blend of travelogue, pop culture analysis, and memoir, forty-year-old former D&D addict Ethan Gilsdorf crisscrosses America, the world, and other worlds—from Boston to New Zealand, and Planet Earth to the realm of Aggramar.
There's also a
