October 08, 2023 Shelf Builders Podcast Ep 005—Matthew Kent, LitRPG Author
Shelf Builders Podcast Season 1 Episode 5
In this episode I talked with Matthew Kent about his bookshelves, game library, and the LitRPG genre. We touched on the future and the past, tech and nostalgia. We covered everything from serious literature to DnD books and comics.
Apologies if the lighting is off and the editing is a bit choppy. It was an impromptu recording and we covered a lot of ground. I trimmed a bit to keep us under 40 minutes. But for all the great conversation, it feels like we were only just scratching the surface. I'll have to bring Matthew back if the show is still around a year from now.
