Using Our Library Voices is Summer-Sized: RPGs, D&D, and Renaissance Faires

Harris County Public Library

This extra-long episode is a celebration of fantasy, strategy, and storytelling as your Harris County Public Library librarians roll initiative on a journey through their favorite RPG passions! We start with RPG and turn-based combat video games that first opened the portal to imaginative realms. From there, we dig deep into the immersive world of tabletop role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons, and the strategic thrill of trading card games like Magic: The Gathering. Finally, we swap our dice for doublets as we dive into Renaissance Faires—where the fantasy comes to life. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just starting your quest, join us for a fun, geeky deep dive filled with nostalgia, laughter, and more than a few critical hits.
